LOL at recommending Rotas...

Its not that Rotas are built cheaply or whatever.. I'm sure there's nothing wrong with the actual build of the wheel..

The thing with Rotas, XXRs etc is that they blatantly rip-off the design of every legit wheel manufacturer out there, indirectly driving up the price of real wheels..

Here are some examples of the so-called "internet hype"

Rota D2

Work Meister S1

Rota Grid 1570

Volk TE37

Rota Flashback

Work Equip 03

Rota D-Force

Advan RS-D

etc etc...

JayYoon, Ultimately its your car so do whatever you want with it.. but to me its hard to respect a company that so blatantly steals designs of other wheel manufacturers. The Z deserves better wheels than Rotas and XXR.

If money is an issue I'd recommend either waiting and saving your money for real wheels, or maybe look at finding something used..

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.

Obviously you just don't get it.. enjoy your fake wheels.
