Default how do you identify rota slips??

I bought some wheels today that look like black slips but i'm not totally convinced that they are because i know some other companies make these type of wheels (spoon knockoffs). Does rota stamp their name anywhere on there? Just curious, either way i got these wheels so cheap its a deal no matter who made them, but i just was wondering.... let me know.

most rota's can be spotted by the car, typically it's lowered on "name brand here" coilovers, has a 15 second qtr mile time and lots of dreams.

Or on a car with an owner who is more worried about spending money on parts that actually add performance rather than overpriced JDM crap.

you could be right, these are made in Taiwan not Phillipinnes. they weigh 16.8lbs each and are 17x7. in this pic the nippon is left and the rota is right, very similar...

I have exact the same rims you have. Do you know the name or where I can find one of those rims? Cause one of my rim is bent and I need to find another.

Let me know thanks.

Yeah, thanks I am aware of the 2007, but wouldnt hurt to ask.

If I chuck my wheels in the dumpster, it would be waste and I would have to buy new rims which I do not have the money to do that.

I am hoping that there is a copy of the same rim with 17x7 ET40 that I could just get one rim. Dont care if the colour do not match.
