Now I know what some of you are going to say... Rota are knockoff, cheap, and for poser. But I used to own a set for my WRX and knows a lot of people who used to rock Rota. The quality is very good and they look like the real thing for much less than your bank account can manage. Most of us buy rims mainly for the looks. Some buy for the bragging rights in terms of brand name.
