They make most of Honda's OEM wheels and a few others.

I had some rotas for a while, they are good rims for the buck, i agree and would rate 7/10 as well. However, like stated its cast vs. forged (2 pc, 3pc) so naturally yes name brand is stronger. But, rotas are nice, only reason those ones on the last page are fucked up is probably cuz they nailed a curb really hard any cast rim is gonna dp that. If you are a careful driver you should be fine.

They're ok. Like Rota, they too, make copies of real wheels.

Put it this way...if a wheel manufacturer makes it onto Gran Turismo...its a 10/10 wheel company. This gives you companies like Rays Eng, Enkei, O.Z. BBS, SSR, etc. These are quality wheels, with tons of engineering supporting their original designs. Consider these wheels as a "top tier" selection.
The "problem" (which is just opinionated) with companies like Rota, neo-Konig (used to have all original wheels), Drag, Spun, etc is that they are really just flat-out copied designs with minor tweeks (if any). Its like buying flea-market Oakley Sunglasses (only to have the paint dribble down your nose 10 minutes after walking around with them in hot sun). They are just copied designs, manufactured more cheaply to be more available to a younger crowd.
I would consider Rotas, etc to be more of a daily driver wheel as opposed to a racing wheel. They are not meant to withstand the forces thrown at them during tracking. Like others have said, just be a smart driver. Do not run directly over potholes, etc (which you should watch out for with any wheel), and you'll be fine.
There is nothing wrong with buying/owning Rotas...they are insanely popular and do fit Hondas/Subarus really well. I think people are just starting to make a shift down other paths since probably 80% of members on Team-Integra/Honda-Tech have either Rota C8's, C10's or GT3s.

Nice input. I like your saying on Gran Turismo too. I bought the GT5 Prologue. I'm so excited to play it! 1080p here I come!

true, but they are a bit more expensive and i think they are put together a little better that rotas. Either way there is nothing wrong with "buget" wheels. No need to put yourself in debt over rims just because people say knock offs suck.

You will NOT be disappointed with it. Even though its an extremely watered-down version of what the full version will be...its insanely fun. In-cockpit camera > everything. Whats your Playstation ID...we'll have to race sometime. I just got the $250,000 aMuse S2000 race car :twisted:.
