i wonder if rota is actually going to use with own wheel designs for their forged wheels and if they are going to sell them under a different "premium" brand name.
because a rio and an optima are both kias.

in one of those rota threads, it mentions those wheels were 2 years old and were used and abused for daily driving and weren't checked out for any cracking/hairline fractures prior to being installed on that race car.

if you guys check the thread on ht, you'll see that those rims were used on a race car. not only that, the people that it cracked on were the 2nd owners of the wheels. the first owner also used it on a race car.
there's no telling what that wheel had gone through before it cracked. every one bashes rota but no one ever seems to tell the whole story.

The wheels (previous to being on this car) were on another race car, FOR 2 FULL SEASONS, thats over 160 track days. The guy who owned the rims durning that time wasn't the nicest driver, and hit LOTS of curbs, went off track alot also. When the rims were sold to the owner of that car. the seller said "i wouldn't run these rims without first having them checked out. they were put threw hell for 2 years."
