Yeah, they are cheaper for sure - and I would say good for the street. However, I am not sure how I feel about using these coming down a straight on the track in the Turbo doing 140+ MPH into a corner though. Yeah, I know that 19's are not really track wheels, but if you go to an event that is a combination of track and show, you want the car to look it's best and be track worthy with proven wheels.

I think that Ray (Rottec) has some sort of certification on the wheel, but they are Chinese origin. Again, they could be super strong and stronger than the original RUFS, but I do not know about how these are made and the testing they have undergone. Maybe Ray will do a plug for Rottec (given he owns the company) and give us some of the specifications.

This is similar to the seats that Rottec imports - amazing seats, carbon fiber, look great but this list had a huge backlash about them because of certifications. Funny that so far no backlash on these wheels, which impact safety just as much as seats.

If I needed another set of wheels, yes I would consider them for street use for sure, but they are not RUF's and the background/proving that goes with that, they are RUF look-a-likes, so for high speed events where essentially my personal risk goes up, I am sticking with my originals.

Since some of my good buddies are running the Rottec wheels, I am sure I will hear about this opinion ...

Good plan! I might remove that bulb as well.
I have an H3 HID kit laying around yet to be used for the fogs.

Same here, but I'm not sure if I should mix my 4500K headlights (bluish hue)
with a 3000k (le mans yellow) kit I bought for the fogs...

...Is it too....<gulp>.....JDM?

jo-hans

I think that combo should work. Probably close to the stock colours, and isn't yellowish recommended for fogs?

Both the H1 and H3 HID's I have are 6000K. (from DDM) I am still playing with the leveling of the headlights to get them as high as possible without blinding on-comers. How accurate is the bubble on a level surface?

Awesome thread! RUF style wheels look awesome.
