    Why do you regret them? Ethically I've got issues with them directly ripping off the design of expensive wheels but with Rotas being 1/3 of the cost and 1-2lbs heavier per wheel they're a great deal. Great customer service too.

    Lol, ethics? It's not like Rota is claiming the design as their own. The wheels aren't even direct competitors to the wheels they imitate. The fact of the matter is, anyone that can appreciate nice wheels (people who know their ish) can generally tell when a wheel is Rota and not the thing it's imitating. And the people who can't tell are the ones that wouldn't be affected any differently if you told them you were sporting Rota Torques or Works anyways. Either way you would get "Oh, cool wheels."

    From my experience the majority of Rota owners don't try to hide the fact that they are Rotas. They buy them because, like GTScoob said, they are good looking wheels that aren't that expensive.

    I just found out that Drag makes a rip-off of my wheels (fno1r-c). And do I care? Hell no. I paid for a higher quality wheel and that's what I got. The fact that they look like mine I find flattering more than anything else.

    Rota has no ethics. They totally ripped off the round wheel with spokes idea. Like I said before, posting in a thread arguing about JDM is totally not JDM, none of ya fools is JDM suckassss!
    Please tell me if you think my car looks good. But don't tell me if you think it's ugly - only on IA
