Then buy some Toyo T1R's or Nitto Invos, those tires are both cheaper than these wheels

or you can get nexens or generals as well, we have it all

What's up with the bronze? It looks way different compared to other wheels that are in "bronze" finish (volks, works, tenzo)

The ce28 replicas look weak with those offsets, the torques on the other hand look "ok".

if he had DPT-R's on all 4 corners it would look good
Don't like the way the fronts don't have any concativity

Can't say anything bad about the Torque-R's I was rocking them for a few myself

The Rota Torques look good. I live in NJ and you go through so many tires and rims with the horrible roads over here that you realy do not want to spend a fortune on wheels anyway...or at least IMO. Do you have any pictures of black ones on a black g35, I am seriously considering buying a set this spring?

I have nothing against Rota's but have you considered maybe why you go through so many wheels is because you buy cheap ones? I've run both Racing Harts and Volks and I live in a downtown area with terrible roads and constant construction. 2+ years and no problems at all, knock on wood.

Again, not trying to turn this into a Rota-hate thread, I have nothing against these wheels although I have to wonder why somebody would buy these instead of a nice set of forged Rays 19s.

I haven't bought the "cheap wheels" yet. My comment was about the horrible roads in New Jersey so I was exaggerating a little bit to say that I go through wheels all of the time but I constantly get slow leaks in my tires and flats because of all of the potholes here. When I had my Lexus I did bend 2 rims and they were expensive chrome wheels but I had a low profile tire on them (I think 35's). If I run a lower profile tire any rim would definitely bend no mater if it is a Work wheel or a Rota but I wouldn't feel as bad if I bent the Rota wheel because I didn't pay as much for them in the first place. I doubt that the Work wheels would hold up much better against the moon crater size New Jersey potholes than the Rotas and I am not willing to bet my hard earned money to find out (situational awareness). If I lived in an area with nicer roads I would be willing to invest in expensive 19-20 inch wheels but I don't so I will buy Rotas and anyone who doesn't like it does not have to look at my car
