Do you know how many other manufacturers there are imitating popular styles? More than you can imagine I'm sure.

The RE30s look awesome to me, so do the SVNs for much less.

So you bought an Evo, an put wheels on it that belong on a Lancer. And thats what I can't stand is new companies coming out with knock offs (yes Rotas are knock offs, sorry to burst your bubble) cuz its drowning the market of cheap stuff. Nice work IMO

Rotas may be cheaper than some of the wheels that they emulate but does overpricing your product make it better? Quality wise you would naturally assume there to be some sacrifice looking at the price, but do you really have evidence of this? Hell, if price determines the quality of a wheel then I would just buy some advan rss and call it a day... Bottom line is most people on here buy wheels for the looks and if Rota copy another brand that I like the look of and cost half as much with little or no sacrifice in performance why would I not buy them?

BTW - I run JICs and lov'em

damn i cant believe some of these guys are still arguin about this. The dude just asked for pics of volks so he can get an idea of what he wants. He didnt ask for rotas, and he didnt ask which was better. Rotas are good wheels with an excellent price, If you dont mind the price tag though, volks are better, thats all there is to it. Volks are forged.

you're *** backwards. the volks are 100's if not 1000's of times stronger than the rota's. you should be dodging potholes with the rotas if anything. i had a set of volk SE37K's on my honda accord. i bought the wheels to race because i knew they could handle the abuse. i have taken curbs at 60mph+, potholes at 100mph+, and never got so much as a scratch on any of the wheels. after abusing them for 5 years on my accord, i turned around and sold them for almost $2000. they are THAT good. this is why volks are more expensive. they are forged under 10,000 tons of pressure during the manufacturing process. i think they can take a pothole. rota's are cheap because they are cast wheels. this is also why they are extremely weak compared to volks.

the other reason i'd never put rota's on my car is because they are heavy. volks are expensive because they are high quality, and they out perform other wheels. period. volks will last longer, take more punishment, and perform better because of the lighter weight. less unsprung weight = better acceleration, handling, quicker response, better gas mileage, and better braking. so if you want to buy a 30-40k car, then cheap out on the wheels, fine. just don't advise others to make the same mistake you did because you weren't smart enough to look at all the differences in the wheel's R&D, construction, performance, and properties.

i think it's retarded that people keep talking about only the look of the wheels. yes, they look almost identical, but if you're buying performance wheels to put on a high performance car, shouldn't you look at the performance capabilities of the wheel you're buying? rota's are decent wheels, but it's an insult to mention them and volk in the same sentence unless you're commenting on how rota is stealing yet another design.
