Rota BM8

[nmwisima]

Ok, now, this is a DeTomaso Mangusta with special Campagnolo wheels...


Now you see where I going, right?

Hayashis are not original, are copies of the Campagnolos
the same way the Watanabes are copies of the Minilites...

This does not mean in any way, that Rota copies are equal quality
with the very well made japanese wheels, but hey lets not just talk
about "copies"... :wink:

NoHachi, yeah, yeah, if everything goes as plan by October there will be a nice set of wats style Rota design under my miata

The BM8s rule on my KE70. They are a good thing.. Cus up until now, 95% of 86's etc always roll around on busted ass weak sized rims becuase people couldnt or wouldnt pay for the good wheels...

The last set of RS Watanabe R Type 15x9 -13 wheels i bought for my last AE86 were £1300 UKP, and that was when the UKP was super strong against the Japanese Yen, in 2007. These days that would be more like £2000. For 4, fifteen inch wheels. Madness.

Its nice to have the proper stuff, im an old school Toyota head who knows whats what and i've always paid to dollar for genuine parts over the years.. but the BM8's look wicked on my KE, fit brilliantly and like all Rota wheels these days, are well made and plenty strong.

agree with pazza

now days its hard to get the real deal that why i got the bm8 if i sratch them its easy and cheap to get a new set

The only thing I d do to the BM8 is spray them in a matt lacquer, so they re not that shiny and look a bit older.
