You mean you wouldn't pay $1,000 more for a 2lbs heavier wheel and a well known brand name? Strange...

you mean lighter .. volks weigh less than rotas last time i checked. come on, rotas are a good wheel, but they aren't THAT great now are they??

and those pics are of rota grids - i've never seen the downshift. i have em: they're nice wheels, but you can definately tell they're not volks close up. the polished lip is kinda gay in my opinion too - that's why i'm gonna powdercoat them this winter.

well i was gonna post a pic, but we don't need that anymore do we.

a search for rota downshift pointed me to a bunch of subaru sites - i think they may only make this wheel in a 5 lug bolt pattern. this guy up the street from me has them on his contour svt, which is a 5 lug.

i agree. i guess having 5 lug holes = ugly.

looks nice, i wish they had our bolt pattern.
