Don't buy fakes of fakes, buy our fakes.

The safety issue is understandable but the cheek of this made I laugh!

LOL this cracked me up aswell. the amount of people that came upto me and said 'nice slipstreams' when clearly they were Regamaster EVO's.

It seems they now think they are a proper manufacturer. (Tbf they are slightly as they have their own designs) but they started in the copy club. And most ppeople will always feel that way.

That is funny, comments on the page sum it up nicely....

The difference with rota compared with a lot of the others doing replica/copy wheels etc is that they are built to a good standard and tested to check they are safe. Some of the others that offer similar copied/replica rims have no testing what so ever and this is the issue in my eyes.

Rota now have 5+ of their own designs on sale iirc, they also offer rims in sizes/fitments that the originals never did so I really have no issue with them at all, in fact I own some.

I've seen Rota copies cropping up on eBay, called Bola rims... :wack:

The irony in this is just too damn sweet...

See if they were moaning about those then the comments all over the net would be fair, the fact they are letting the consumer know that other wheels are being badged as rota with no safety testing the kudos to them imo.

Makes me laugh when I think of their copying of Japanese rims..Love this

 

[Mike]

I do agree with you Chris. The main issue is obviously safety, and I've also owned a set of Rota's and had no issues also. But I was aware when I bought them I was buying a cheap version of the wheels I wanted to own.

 

[S15_SAM]

I would still buy rota's. as real rims cost too much! But I bought 350z ray's enginering forged rims for £250. So win win for me.

 

[Mike]

Yeah I think good jap wheels are out there if you want them. Rota's are easily accessible and that's not there fault, fair play to them they cornered the market perfectly! I'm buying 2 works cr kai' s off Parky for sensible money off of here! I've spoken to Injection Imports to import another two. They want £310 each delivered to my door for 17" Works. Ok thats without tyres but with them they still come in 200 quid less than I paid for my Rota's.

 

[EMAGDNIM]

I will NEVER own a set of Rota's. I just don't like the fact that they stole the rim designs from larger companies to build their name. Hell even their "new" line is a CCW wheels. There's a ton of Japanese rims that you can buy new (or used) for a bit more then what you'd pay for Rotas.

 

[Cap'n Crash]

Aw. I got beaten to it!

Aw. I got beaten to it!

I like rota wheels, why pay thousands for japanese wheels when rotas are proven to be more than up to the task.

 

[Cap'n Crash]

I'm not slagging rotas, I'm slagging the fake rotas.....

Why buy Rotas when you can buy a quality wheel for a bit more? That argument can go both ways...

 

[pegliobaglio]

Is true man I have rota gtr , price for a set of these in the size and offset I have is over 950 I just got my xd9's bigger rim too for about 250-300 more

How are rota's not a quality wheel?
