I have to say there are pretty damn smart - they realized the wheels everyone likes are too expensive so they make decent quality (obviously not as good as the originals but good enough) copies and they sell shitloads. Those bastards I needed to do that.

The only people who hate Rotas are the ones who paid $$$ for the real ones, and then realized that the average person can't tell the difference, or that it doesn't make a difference on the street.

not me. i paid for the real ones twice and thought it was cool that rota came out with the slipstreams, because it just made me appreciate the real ones that much more.
when i had my 16" spoons, i had a lot of fun messing with people who kept asking if they were real when i got them back in 2001. if they couldn't tell the difference, they didn't appreciate them and didn't deserve to know. then i sold them to one of my roommates and he was also asked on occassion if they were real. one time we told a couple of jdm ricer kids that they were a set of slipstreams where we customized them to look like real spoons by putting bondo over the rolled lip to make it flat like a real spoon and painted them bbq black. i have a buddy with a set of rh cp035s who was asked in a parking lot if they were real because they noticed one of the faded racing hart stickers on the side of his lip. his answer, "they're rota subzeros and the previous owner put those stickers on." i have another buddy who has a set of enkei rpf1s. he took off the stickers so people would think they are spun knockoffs.
i'm glad they came out with rszr replicas. it makes me appreciate the real thing that much more.
real genuine wheels make or break the car. in my opinion, the real wheels make the car feel more classy, refined, distinguished and mature. i'd rather take a set of oem wheels over a set of rotas personally. like i said, that's just my opinion. if you like your replica rotas or spun or whatever knockoffs, buy them. just don't hate on me because i won't.
