Quality of Linea Corse wheels. - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

samps · 05-30-2008, 11:44 AM

Can anyone provide thoughts / opinions on these?

I have never heard of them before, and just want to know how they compare to other wheels, in terms of finish quality, build, etc.

TIA.

Bump for a great question. Like to see some real world opinions on these as well.

Joonsup · 05-30-2008, 01:18 PM

so far so good. i've had mine since end of april and i'm very satisfied with them. The aren't too heavy either. i'll probably buy from them again in the future

Ray · 05-30-2008, 01:38 PM

I have experienced many wheels from the same manufacturer and will vouch for their good quality.

samps · 05-30-2008, 01:56 PM

Thanks for the comments guys. I notice that prices for a whole set are nearly the cost of one wheel (depending on what you're comparing against). Can anyone comment on what other wheels these would be comparable to? OE?

+1. i've had mine since mid-may. the weight on them is pretty good for a cast 19" as they seem to be around the same weight as my stock 18" 197's.

made in the philippines. aka rota.

samps · 05-30-2008, 03:15 PM

Oh...Phillippines? Hmmm...

Joonsup · 05-30-2008, 04:13 PM

samps · 05-30-2008, 04:24 PM

i've only had mine for a short while. I am pleased so far. The finish is pretty darn good on them.
Zoeb was a nice guy to deal with. I would definately do business with him again!

topher91 · 05-30-2008, 11:41 PM

Seriously are they made in the Philippines?

And they are from the same manufacturer of Rota's?

I've never had a set, but I'm pretty sure it's up to par with the other wheel brands (same price range) that are sold on this board, since it has to pass tests/certifications in order to be roadworthy.

I'm sure it won't make any difference qualitywise if its manufactured here in the US, but pricewise...expect to pay more probably double or triple

....it's what we call global economics

topher91 · 05-31-2008, 11:42 PM

just curious as I am Filipino!

Then I'd be proud to mention that there are equality wheels that come from my country!!!

So Rota is made in the Philippines too?

BYAW · 06-01-2008, 09:44 AM

quality and finish of the linea corse wheels is really good. my friend got one of the first set of linea corse lemans and they blew his other lm reps away. fit look and quality were so much better than the previous reps he had.

Rota has been around since 1976. Below is a link for the curious, as there hasn't been much exposure to wheels manufactured in the Philippines:

http://www.autoindustriya.com/fa/id/6/

Quality-wise, as long as the wheels are JWL/VIA/TUV - certified, you shouldn't have a problem, no matter where they're manufactured. Even so-called "high-end" forged wheels like SSR have had their share of problems (one of my posts from awhile back references a pic of a cracked SSR GT7 rim).

me92 · 06-02-2008, 09:52 PM

i am gonna get them as soon as i save up / or if someone buy my breytons!!

they're good.

and

+1 Zoeb is a great guy to deal w/!
