Default O.Z. vs Rota

Im having a bit of a dilema!! Over here in England, Rotas are RARE and expensive, but not JDM expensive (about $1000 for a set of 16s with average tyres - yea i know )

O.Zs are the same price, but as common as muck!!! I dont know how common they are over in the U.S, but theyre pretty much the rich man's Rota over here!!

ANYYWAY, put yourself in my situation! Which one would YOU get??



O.Z. Record, quite a sexy wheel imo ^^^

OZs also have a REAL rally/racing heritage over here

Yeah, much more so than Rota. They're perceived as a more premium wheel.

not at all, they just arent as popular on this site. go to a vw forum and see what you see more of. IMO i think OZ's are just as common if not more common, just not in the honda scene

Get some rally inspired OZ's. $1K is way too much for Rotas

Rota expensive? 390 pounds or less from rarerims.co.uk? I got them even cheaper as we did a groupbuy, and that included shipping them to the Netherlands...

OZ is NOT intersting imho, as the superleggeras are not really that much lighter than the Rotas and it's the only model they sell here (that I know of) that's not stupidly heavy, or just boring to look at...

but hey, your choice of course
