Rota's just make copies of very nice rims. Ex. Volks, Mugen, etc.

I think the spokes on the volks taper in a little while the grids do not.....I've never been a really big fan of the grids....and I agree with the guy above, the volks look 100% better

Authentic ones are always 100% better than the replicas considering the additional cost involved.

Actually if you look at the slipstreams and the REAL spoon wheels they look really close....I dont even think the grids really look like the LE37's

The Rotas look cheaply built, IMO. Well, they are, so i guess it's allright. I'd rather save some $$$ and go for the real thing...

Yea, I have only liked the grids on 1 car and i think that was a guy named MattL on this forum. The guy had a SLAMMED white teg w/ dark 15" grids. Looked pretty.

I still want to see a car w/ the 16" bronze grids...

Wow, those looks pretty nice. A lot better than the first ones posted on this page. On the other hand, what is wrong with that cars paintjob?

What the hell? Is it me or do those bronze grids on the blue civic look abnormal. Why do the spokes look so skinny compared to the grids posted at the top of this thread? The spokes look way toooo skinny....

Yea, it is different but neat. Good job on teh conversion.

Yes, those definately look differnt than teh ones in teh first pic. They look more like the real Volks. I really want a set for my black GSR. I missed the GB b/c i don't have any $$.

These are 16in silver grids on my teg. I think they just resemble volks a lil bit, but on the other hand volks do look 100% better.

spoons have the flatter rougher surface...the rota slips have a glossy flat black and smooth surface...the the bottom pic is of the spoons...as for the LE 37's, theyre pretty damn identical. When we-todd-did....starts working again, i'll post a pic of my friends ek w/ the LE's
