Default Rota gt3 or dr16?

What would you rather go with? And what is the difference in quality? I know dr16 are lighter.
I have a chance of picking up a set of rotas locally. Need your opinions.
Thanks.

Do they feel the same though? You know how you can tell by the look at the product that it looks/made cheap. Not saying that rotas are quality made but they have been around for awhile.

My main concern was the weight. DR16 are lighter then rotas. But i've never seen dr16 in real life. So i'm asking how do they look/feel. Do they look cheap made in real life or do they look just identical to rotas.

Red with polished lip Gt3 on black del sol mmmmm. Since your car is red though i would stay away from the red wheel... and in that case id rather choose another wheel altogether.

the drags are knock off's off rotas, they quality isnt the same either, there cheaper for a reason.
And sorry I dont have exact proof but i have compared both side by side.

Ok that's what i wanted to know. If the quality is the same.

Why not red? I think red del sol with red gt3 would look good.
