They look like BBS K3s, i think WaterCooled Industries makes those ones, or very similar.

They are called BBS RS Turbo Fans, but those are not real because they are one piece, actually concave, etc etc. Those are Rota RM100 or Avid.1 AV-17. They are most likely 16x8 +20, or there abouts. I miss my E30 already.

After googling those wheels, I'm pretty sure those are the Avid.1 AV-17s.

I'm assuming that they're the same trash-tier as Rota from the prices. I wish that someone made something at least... reminiscent of the real thing for a reasonable price instead of the options being a) get horrid poo poo that'll break in three months or b) spend two grand on something to attach to your wheels that cost two grand to start with.

They won't break in two months. They may be heavy, but they aren't dangerous.

Heard this before, but which Rotas actually break? I know a few people who run Rotas, some on drift/track cars and so far none have randomly disintegrated.

Gonna side with MK4 on this. Track cars shouldn't be the benchmark for what items are supposed to be worthy of regular use.

My friend's MX5 with Rotas slid sideways into a kerb (ice) and the wheels took the full force of the impact side on, and whilst they are damaged, they are still functional.

Whoa whoa whoa buddy. Quads, or as we call them around here "Four Wheelers" or "Whillers" (depending on how many teeth you have) are awesome.

What's wrong with them? I spent a great deal of my teenage years riding my Yamaha Warrior:



After I sold it, my parents still invited me to go with them as they have 2 quads and a UTV.

This has led us to amazing places:

Meh you can't hate all Nissan S13s because some douchebags put 45" wide wheels on them either.

Also we found out last year that you should NOT jump a 4x4 Deere Gator:



They are nose heavy.

It's Europe's answer to the brotruck.

You can have a road legal one, but only cunts ride them on the roads.

Quantifier: Imagine the twattiest loud-pipes-save-lives, helmets-are-for-pussies, HayaBROsa bro! Bro you can. Now imagine they can't actually ride something with two wheels, put them on a sink estate, and give them a 2wd quad lowered on road tyres. Liberally apply cans of Monster and release onto the road at 2am.

Luckily, you can also get proper off-road ATVs registered for road use. It's a nice side effect of EU legislative harmonisation. Previously, it was a similar "agricultural use" deal to that applied to tractors, limiting you to short distances between private land.

Yup, pretty much why I hate them. One drove past my house every weekday at 7.10am for months and disturbed my peaceful napping after my alarm went off. It was so obnoxiously loud too, my house is maybe 300m from the bottom of a main artery onto the ring road and it's super straight meaning people in fast cars really give it some but even the very loudest car and superbike were no loving match for this thing.

Strangely, the noise stopped after a while. I imagine he managed to off himself or at least total the quad as from the sound of the thing he couldn't handle it at all, throttle was never held for more than a second at a time.

If he ded then RIP but it's you're own fault, dude.

I don't have a lot of experience on ATVs, don't know how to ride a motorcycle, etc etc.

One of my friends bought their aging father one of these for his birthday a few years back: http://can-am.brp.com/off-road/atv/renegade/renegade-x-xc/specs.html

His is a 900, so it must be the previous generation. Regardless, it has something like 90 horsepower and is absolutely batshit crazy. We took it out when he bought it, and I nearly killed myself several times blasting through the twisty dirt roads around his dads place in the desert. That thing got up to 60mph in no time and I really probably should have died with how stupid I was riding it.

gently caress, it was fun.
