Because of the price, I was able to budget money for more important things: tires, brake pads, entry fees (the price difference between Rotas and their brand name counterpart was worth 3-4 track days). To me, they were a purely functional purchase, they look ok, not great but not ugly. And no, they have not broke yet, and most likely won't break soon.
i prefer my lightwheel wheels because when i street race i count my OZ's and it may be dumb to some but i like it that way, stripped, 1/4 tank of gas, lightweight wheels, and on the south beach diet lol (not really but it seemed funny) every pound i have counts to me in my acceleration, deceleration, cornering etc. i don't like Rotas b/c they are trash in my eyes, it has ruined the wow factor of many wheels and i can't stand the outrageous price they charge for a "jdm" look. they are round, however like i said before i won't rock rotas... i did at one time and they were gone within a week b/c they didn't fit me right. i can understand a budget but honestly paying 900+ for your rotas doesn't compete with my LIGHTER, STRONGER, RARER, 350 JDM TRUE JDM wheels. i got love for people lookin to save price but my biggest thing isn't for saving money, its a wow factor.... a functionality factor.... and all round makes me hella happier than looking just like everyone else factor
