Rotas + Track = F.A.I.L

I got this from another forum and just wanted to share. (if it's a repost bite me)

Congratulations, you re-posted a thread from a French Canadian forum re-posted from a German forum.

Want a cookie for tell the history behind the thread

You passed the bullshit story on, not I. Wasuri, the OP on the French Canadian site, should get a letter from one of Rota's attorney just for not stating the facts as they were originally presented and be required to make a retraction statement and edit the post with the truth...but that won't ever happen and the damage is already done.

As for cast wheels on the race track, what do you think Team Dynamics competition wheels are? Forged wheels for 15" $150 to 19" $250 MSRP each? Not quite! THOUSANDS of club to pro race cars track those wheels every season with zero issues. (Now if you want to get technical you can start comparing the methods of casting: gravity vs. negative pressure, etc but no need to go there)

So you want to compare a wheel company that has hours of R/D behind each wheel to a company that makes a living by mass producing replicas of every proper and rare wheel developed. Come on, be for real. Yeah, you are right Team Dynamics used casting for years, but if I'm not mistaken their wheels where pretty heavy. They were not trying to use casting to make light weight wheels like Rota, Konig, and alot of other companies that uses casting to clone wheels. They were actually increasing the density of the wheels to help increase the strength of the wheels. So basically my point is casting is not a replacement for forging. If you're going to clone a wheel that was originally forge cool, atleast add some more than material to make up of lose of integrity.
