Cliff was with me when it happened and he can vouche for the mark not being noticable when standing even 8’ from the car. If anyone thinks that Rota’s break on a daily basis or some track driving causes them to shatter like in those pics…you’re a complete fool. > > Also…Eliot. I understand completely what you’re saying about Rota not being original, and I used to look down on Rota for it. Even though I still do hate the fact that they make copies…and inreturn actually hurting the business of the original companies…I just look at it like this. I don’t knock Keystone for making copies of body panels for cars when it takes away from the OEM business. If I can get a bumpercover for $47 and still have money left over for groceries for the rest of the week opposed to a $300 OEM bumpercover from a dealer…then bet your ass I’ll have food in my belly that week. your still supporting the oem manufacture though, they are the ones who made the car that you bought, they got money from the purchase. as far as aftermarket oem style bumper covers, im sure those companies have to pay money to the oem manufactures in order to reproduce them or i would guess there would be some serious copyright infringment going on. when you buy a fake/copy wheel, the original wheel company isn’t getting anything out of it except knowing that you really like there wheels, but are too cheap to buy them and would rather just pretty much kick them in the nuts. because replica wheels can do somehting as simple as put the lug holes in a different spot and they are still gonna fit on any car and look the same but not have to worry about copyrights. ---
