I love mine and get nothing but compliments on them.
Even people that say at first, "nah, they're mugen knockoffs, aw man" --they take it back when they hear the price I got them for, and that they are still only 12# each.

I use them for autox and track only, and they have been so trustworthy that I am ordering another set of Rotas (subzeros this time) for a street setup.
I bought 15" bronze circuit 8's, and, they are as advertised, 12.04#each wheel.
I got mine really cheap thru http://www.machiii.net
Talk to Walee there and ask if he can hook you up.
The finish is beautiful, they have not been eaten by the HAWK BLUES brake dust either, so the paint is strong, thank goodness.
Never heard of any problems with these wheels either, from anyone.
-unlike ADR spiders...ouch-
Craftmanship... no chips in the paint, no flaws in the metal that I can see ----
(but each of my Konig tantrums have a few casting dents/bubbles/thingies the size of a pencil lead).
I would say craftmanship is great but not on par with pricey wheels.. Rays, Volk, Racing Hart, Mugen, SSR, BBS, Spoon etc...

I say you get a set.
I cant remember if Rota makes Konig..... or Konig makes Rota, but they are connected somehow.
