Rota RB's 17x9.5 in Neg. offsets 4x114

No, the reason why they aren't out of business is because they make cheap knock off's of thousand dollar wheels at a much more affordable price. Therefore, its much easier for people who don't care about having genuine wheels to go and buy them. Hence the Honda crowd...

Every time I see a Honda its on Slipstreams or GT3's. Gabs and Spoon Knock off's.

Rota fails in my book. :thumbsdow

yeah and im not saying in anyway that those rotas are anywhere near as good as the BBS wheels that i got... but they arent terrible wheels.

so what about those million dollar magnesium OZ,Enkie,work etc wheels that i see fall apart on the track all the time?

What are you talking about?

I wasnt arguing that expensive manufactors are worthless personally i think BBS is the best in the world, but if rota was that bad they would be out of business?

Don't argue moot points. 100's of corporations should be out of business for one reason or another but are not.

I Personaly thought the REAL differeance between the wheels is one is alighter forged metal and the other is cast cheap metal, but theres millions of cast wheels even OEM and they dont really break unless you really hit something.

There's more than one way to skin a cat, and there's more than one way to cast a wheel. There are low pressure casts, gravity casts, and spun rim (to name a few). Each yields different strengths and weights while the cost of manufacturing varies considerably. Do some research on the subject b/c your personal opinion doesn't take into consideration any facts. Oh, and OEM wheels are not regularly made with ridiculously thin spokes or taken to tracks w/ r-compound tires mounted on them.
