most name brand wheels are made in china anyways, so who cares if they are knockoffs.....cuz there made by the same ppl. unless you like paying for a name, which isnt always a bad idea.

why does everyone hate on rota so much. just because someone had the smarts to go out and replicate all those popular wheels for cheaper. i mean think about it. cheap popular wheels would sell like crazy compared to the real thing for 2-3 times as much. to the founder.

Track R's are CP-R copies. There are no CP-F copies...yet.

Although, i dislike rota, i must admit the owner was sort of creative. He saw a demand in the market for cheaper rims for the cheaper segment and served towards them. Now hes rich off ricers or the wise spenders.

I agree it was a smart business move, but very unethical.

But in the grand scheme of things, this happens all the time....ideas being stolen. In movies, music, fashion, marketing, in nearly every facet of life. If something becomes hot, best believe there is another party ready to copy and reap the rewards.

Seems kinda dumb to single out Rota.

cp-f's are ugly, who cares.

the people who own legit ones paint the neon green and purple. which is a pretty "rota" thing to do in the first place.
