Default Mugen M7 or Rota J-Mags.

yeah i was really feeling the M7's but like any other ordinary person, i gotta werk my *** off for those. so yeah thats when i considered the Rota J-Mags since its the same style with a cheaper price... Do you guys think that i should just get the J-Mags since it is "the same shyt" or should i pay for the name and get the Real Mugen M7's??

It depends, the real ones look much better and arent going to drop in value anytime soon, if you can afford the real thing find them, if the car is your daily driver I wouldnt rock M7s.

Rotas...because pottholes aren't your friend

I'd dish out for the Mugens only if I had nothing better to do with the extra $$ and I had alot more Mugen parts than just the wheels. It would be a personal satisfaction thing.

Rota.

Mugens are for show cars only, or garage kept/weekend cars.

They attract thieves, curbs, potholes, dirt, grime, oil, paint chips...

M7's are forged two-piece wheels. Potholes won't to **** to them.

Mugens are made for street cars and race cars alike. Strong forged wheels can be used anywhere. Theives can't steal your wheels with the proper locks, potholes will not bend forged wheels unless they are EXTREME, and those other excuses like dirt and paint chips are just moot (especially since M7s are bare metal with clearcoat).

People steal cars with Rotas just as often as they steal cars with Mugens, if you have anti theft measures neither will be stolen, unless the theif has a flatbed

You guys really don't have to come up with all of these excuses as to why you wouldn't rock Mugens. Just say that they are expensive and that you can't afford them. If money were no object, I'm pretty sure all of you would rather have the Mugens over the Rotas.
