Default ~~Rota Haters Dont Look~~ Rota comparison.....Which ones look closer to the real thing?

Okay so the RSB got some new rims yesterday Rota Circuit 8 aka Mugen MF 8.....

But when i was getting them i noticed these other ones but i dont know if they are new or what ever but i liked that they had some texture to it and they looked more authentic

Here they are you be the judge...

The ones i bought


The other ones i found on the net..thanx from who ever i stole them from


Okay so notice the diffrence? Anyways the rubber gets mounted today so ill take more pics later on....

PS. I will not be putting the MOOOGEN center cap cuz there not mugens

I'm confused. Are both of the pics of C8's? If so, why is one textured between the spokes?

I dunno, but the one you got has an embosed center cap hole and Rota C8 below has a flat one.. Take some more good pics of the rims that you bought.. Btw, you stole that pic from me, that's mine.. Hahahah, it's cool you can use it..

its the design, they are very similar but different in small aspects. the gap between the rims is deeper and bigger in mugens. rota is smaller yet wider

It's come to my attention that the 16" rota C8s look a lot more like the real deals. I had this discussion with my friend day before yesterday lol. Same goes for Group Ns if I'm not mistaken.

rota actually released another version of the C8 with a finish that looks very very very similar to the forged MF8. the paint is flat bronze with a shiny spoke and lip just like the real finish.


almost fooled me.
