Who cares? They're wheels not rare pieces of art
Is this about being a poseur? So long as you don't claim your Rotas are Volks, why does it matter?
And even if you did, who are you trying to impress? No one cares about your wheels -- seriously
And competition for a given style of wheel should drive the price
down not up...
Besides, there's only like 5 or 6 different wheel styles out there. They are all variations on the same theme, and everybody rips off everybody else -- just get ones you like.
BTW: Forged wheels are stronger given their
weight -- they aren't necessarily stronger overall, and you can destroy a forged rim if you hit it hard enough.
Again, these aren't rare pieces of art nor are they snowflakes -- they are fvcking
wheels. Get ones you like and enjoy.
