Wheeldude or others--are Linea Corse wheels made in

John P. · 07-05-2009, 10:37 AM

China? I am considering a set, and while it's not a deal breaker, it could be a consideration.

Boost Gomez · 07-05-2009, 11:45 AM

I think they're made in the Philippines.

ehhhwik · 07-05-2009, 01:46 PM

Lots of things including wheels are made in China these days, some brand name wheels like Breyton have wheels made in China, so they can't be that miserable just because its made there...

I've also been told Linea Corse is a division of Rota. I have 2 sets of Rotas for my track car, and for the money, you really can't beat them. They are light, and I have yet to have any problems with them. I would definitely buy a set of LC's based on my experience with Rotas.

+1...Rota is so quality wheels!

Just because its made in China doesn't mean its low quality

Sal@AUTOcouture · 07-06-2009, 12:51 PM

pretty sure a PM to zoeb would get you a straight answer

Zoeb@WheelDude.com · 07-06-2009, 04:39 PM

1. Definitely not made in China...they are made in the Philippines

2. They are made in PAWI, which is the same factory that makes Rota, but their equipment that makes 19" wheels is a bit different than the equipment that makes their 15-18" wheels. The stuff that makes the 19" wheels is newer.

Feel free to ask any other questions about the quality or build of the wheels here

Nope, they are not Rotas

Rota is one company, Linea Corse is another company.

2 different owners, 2 different entities.

I am more interested if they are made in the same factory. It really doesn't matter if they have different names or different owners if they are made in the same plant.

I don't mind though. Both are good wheels for the $.

gotcha lol

ChrisTKHarris · 07-06-2009, 10:53 PM

I can vouch for Linea Corse's quality. I have some 19" Z2S and I love them. The finish is superb, and hasn't begun to peel/flake even though I've curbed the wheels. Super strong and great looking.

flyguy · 07-08-2009, 08:42 AM

Also have new 19" Z2S on my E92 and I love them, no regrets, very sweet wheel!
