When purchasing wheels, people often go for the largest shinest wheels they can find, then are disappointed when they find they actually slow their cars down!

With Rota wheels, you get the best of both worlds. Some of the best looking lightweight wheels on the market, at a fraction of the weight of most mainstream brands – BIG improvement in looks, AND a BIG improvement in straightline performance, both acceleration AND braking!

Simply put, a typical Rota lightweight wheels, weighs in at 5kg less than a mainstream alloy wheel, meaning that by fitting Rota wheels you have increased your cars performance by the same amount as stripping your interior.

“Losing 1kg of rotational weight (i.e. wheel weight) is the straightline performance equivalent to removing 10kg from your car”

3 facts about lightweight wheels:

A lightweight wheel doesn’t simply increase straightline performance, when you hit the bumps and twisties they come into their own.
A lightweight wheel is much more eager to change direction.
Less unsprung weight means that your suspension won’t have to try and control 25kg of wheel and tyre, bouncing around in the arch.
