>Rotas are used by legit race teams and sponsored by race teams
>Rotas now have companies knocking off the Rota name
>Rota is one of the only companies that makes good looking wheels that are light and affordable
There's absolutely no reason to not use Rotas.
The only people who've damaged rims are the idiots who complain that they can't take the brunt force of a huge pothole.
I don't have Rotas for the same reason I don't have a fake watch. It might tell the time perfectly fine but I'd like to have the real thing, just like I'd like to have real SSRs.
i have no complaints, bought a set of slips for my first car and had no trouble selling them after a couple yrs since they are popular
theres certain replicas that rota made that are just as rare as the real thing
>SSR
Yeah nah, maybe if you said Enkei or Advan. SSRS are heavier than the rest.
if "art and science" mean "reverse-engineering and making existing products cheaper" then I'm all for it. Good wheels are retarded expensive and if Rota can actually make things that hold up under the extreme conditions their competitors design their wheels for, I'm happy to spend my money with them.
Until then, they suck.
>extreme conditions
Pro-tip: all wheels get damaged in the exact same conditions.
I would much prefer a wheel that bends with impact than one that shatters. Especially on the track
because they are higher quality
they're show wheels, they're not any higher quality than any other forged wheel
