thanks guys well i think im just gonna go to my buddys at rspec and see wat they have to say because rotas are not bad even though people just dont like them because they are knock off but its pointless for me to buy $1500 rims if the roads are bad

SSK seems to be legit. The TE37 replicas that Rota makes looks more realistic where the SSK model tries to replicate a low offset while failing miserbly at the same time.

Rota Grid Off-road's have a concave face. Rota Grid's do not.

205/40-16, roll your fenders and having a camber kit that runs negative settings wont hurt either.

and tot the Op: i believe those 2 brands are basically the same a far as strength.

pick the cheaper.
