How many completely new designs of wheels have you seen in the last few years? Go ahead, count, I'll wait....
I understand what you are saying and all, my last car and pretty much all my cars have had names such as Volk, Work, SSR, etc. Hell, for my 1995 240, I custom ordered the Volks for it in offset and finish straight from Japan and paid 2500 wholesale for them. That car was a show n' go car though. The Evo isn't so pretty with its faded calipers, nicks and mostly stock body. So I spent 800 bucks on a set of Rota's, slapped some 200 dollar used Bridgestones on there, and honestly I'm just as happy.
I guess if you're looking to brag about the size of your receipt the Rotas aren't the choice for you
