Somebody please sue them or something. They make it harder to be "original".....

I kinda like the looks of those wheels. They are cheap cast junk compared to the real deal though, the trained eye might notice the difference. Is there a big weight difference?

What's not to like. They're cheap, affordable, look good, and are very light.

It's not about "spending more"....it's about actually having to hunt for something different.

There was a time a few years back, when finding Mugen RNR's was HARD (and maybe a little expensive). But the point is, it wasn't easy.

Now take the GAB sports that Rota just copied. Some people have searched for years to find them. It was "A HUNT". now Rota makes cheap knockoffs. IS nothing sacred?

So...the point of customizing cars is so that they all look the same, is that what your saying?

i agree with you Charles, but its hard for me to swallow spending 2 grand on wheels when i have a little one. there's new toys and movies out everyday that i want my little girl to have so if that means she gets what she wants and i have to settle for rota's, so be it. i would love to have mugen circuit 8's, but i have rota's.
