    Default how to tell if its rotas or not?

    i just traded my rota slipstreams for some rota gt3s... now i'm wondering

    -my rotas had a little ingraving on the the rim to show thats its rotas.. right??

    FT: 16" rota slips

    but the Gt3's does not have the ingravings... like it should by the lugnut holes... or are these drags? or whatever.. here they are

    WTT MY GT3'S FOR 16'' SLIPS WITH TIRES


    Am i right?? or am i ? i just wanna make sure... b/c i see it different on the google images of rota gt3s...

    what? Nippon would not be engraved on Rotas. Nippon is a company in itself. I had Nippon Speedy Stars. Rotas have stickers on the inside where the tire covers, and should have something on the back side of the wheel where it meets the hub.

    i mean they are all fake so it dont matter. all the replicas are way heavier and weaker then the wheel they are supposed to look like. so rotas nippon drags theyre all the same i wouldnt even care unless youre buying the real thing. not being a duche just saying ill rock some nockoffs anyday
    I asked a girl if i could buy her a drink, she said I have a boyfriend, so I said, well i have a goldfish, she said what? I replied, oh I'm sorry I thought we were talking about shit that doesnt matter.
