    Well i did read the entire thread and failed to find anyone that was providing facts over unproven theorys. I hate to say it but this is just what i would expect from people buying these parts. I for one believe that a car that will see a race track should not be on a cast wheel.

    The only little sense that came from that whole article was the people that said, "i dont care because i dont take my car to the race track"

    On a full fledged race car, sure. But I don't see a concern running rotas for occasional track days, solo events, etc on a street driven car. Granted my wheels don't see the constant abuse of a race car, but I've personally ran a set of rotas for many years now, including hundreds of mountain runs with absolutely no problem. These wheels have outlasted at least 6 sets of tires. I have yet to see an example of a Rota just falling off the hub or spokes breaking. Every time one of these Rota bashing threads comes up, people post enough of the pictures to try and make a point but fail to mention that the wheel was left loose, caliper was loose, car got hit in the side etc. The humorous part to me is 90% of the time these threads are made, they are by mugen/volk etc fanboys whose cars rarely see anything other than the drive to work, trying to justify spending money to look cool like japanese youtube videos.
