Rota is a copy version of Volk RAcing CE28 ;-) Also those Spoon wheels from Rota, they are a copy version of Desmond wheel SW388 which is super rare these days.

Lovely wheels, the anodised bronze finish is awesome, but how do they rub at all at that height? Surely even over a bump the suspension wouldn't compress that much?

Yeah. I got a cheap Chinese one, it's at TGM. Only cost me £80 so we'll try a trial fit, if it's okay I'll have it painted and fitted, if not I'll probably just cut my losses. The only OEM Honda one I could find was £450 second hand!

Well the forum masses have spoken and the wheels clearly don't suit your car, thankfully there is some solidarity in the club and I am more than happy to help you out and take these off your hands

Think they look great

I don't know but I can hear it now and again. It's only the bodywork clips so nothing to worry about plus the tyres will get smaller which may make a difference.

Cheers. But unfortunately for you, I rather like the way the look and how the car looks so they're staying.

I actually like that colour combination. CE28Ns are great!

BTW: ROTA (Replica Of The Authentic) issued the following statement a couple of years ago:
"The counterfeit [ROTA] wheels have recently surfaced through some wheel dealers in Malaysia. They are manufactured in China. The most distinct feature of the 'copies' is that they are embossed with a ROTA marking on the face of the wheel, whereas the genuine ROTA [wheel] has none. They also come with a center cap bearing the 'ROTA Wheels' logo. They are packaged in plain brown boxes. Original ROTA wheels come with boxes that feature ROTA markings and 3D wheel drawings.

"ROTA Wheels undergo rigid testing using JWL/JWL-T standards to assure you that you are purchasing quality wheels. We cannot guarantee the safety of the copies so please be careful with your wheel purchases," said Michael Rojas, president of PAWI.

ROTA and its logo is a registered trademark of Philippine Aluminum Wheels, Inc.

Genuine ROTA Wheels are made proudly in the Philippines.
