So it's acceptable for a vendor with absolutely no clue what they are talking about to post that? If you removed my previous post I would expect you to do the same with the vendors post as it's 100% false and total slander against Rota Wheels. I'll re-post without the "bashing" but I believe it was well deserved as they clearly have an agenda here and have posted false information in many threads.

I think the poll figures pretty much put say it all in that Rota's are liked and "Rocked" by EVO owners.

In no way are they a fake or bad quality product

Personally, I consider rota wheels downgrades from stock evo 8/9 wheels, especially the bbs mr's. Would rather get new weds/enkei's for a little more, or find a set of used works/ssr/volks, etc.

As far as weight agreed. Not many aftermarket wheels weigh what the stockies do no matter what company you get them from.

Looks wise though to each their own I guess but all the cars with ROTAS I see look way better than they did with the stock rims.

+1 I would really only use them for daily driving and not tell anyone about them lol. But for track I would not trust them. You pretty much get what you paid for. =-\
