Lol. There’s not so much knock offs. Half the people on here run Rotas. And I wasn’t feeling spending the ±5000 dollars on te37’s. The 2000 i spent for the Rotas/tires were enough. I guess if one of them crack I’ll agree but I don’t forsee that happening. There wheels on a 30k dollar car man. If I had a brand new m3 maybe I would splurged but for my Japanese econobox I don’t really see the need. 🙂 ---

I love it but since we are on a forum I figure i’ll toss some misguided hatred your way. 1. HDR photos SUCK 2. Rotas SUCK 3. It’s not an STI, you SUCK 4. STI wing on a WRX, you SUCK 5. Grave driveway, you poor asshole. You SUCK 6. I love it. ---

lol @ the rota hate. They are fine. A bit heavy, but fine. I’ve never broken one and I’ve probably put more abuse on them than most people other than hitting curbs. ---

Well the 18x9.5 te37 is 19.3 lbs which is awesome. The 18x9.5 Grid is 22.8 lbs which is less awesome but still pretty light. ---

And yes. Gravel driveway does suck. But it will be paved as soon as the addition is up. Hopefully by October. ---

Do you have after market suspension? It sits nice. i think the best colors for the rotas are the hyper silver and matte bronze(dont remember the official name) ---
