good quality wheels, not worth paying for the "bling" effect of the name

agreed, if i were to get a set of cast wheels i would get the cheapest version. i wouldn't pay the extra for just CAST. if it were forged then thats a different story

the real ones are $200 each, how much are the rotas? The real ones are 15x7 too, the rotas are probably 6.5.

its not worth it. They make good wheels, and I dont see Volk, Works, Spoon, or Mugen complaining, right.

Highly doubt it. People who want volks, work, mugen still buy from those companies. This really doesn't have to much of a hit on their sales as alot of the people buying rota's wouldn't have bought them anyways.

It's not illegal to copy a design

haha not a wheel design. Now if they slapped a Mugen/Work/Etc logo on it. That would be illegal.

well.... Id saying if you made a video call "whatever", then I took your video and called it "whoever", that would be illegal.

I agree that there is an agreement to use that design. Since some of that **** is patented.
