They consider it a lower quality like fake
And when some pictures came up with broken Rota people will be put off more
also its the brand thing
would you really show off your clothes from Kmart or Designer brands?
ROTA wheels are not made to the same specs as JDM wheels and hence dont have the little FAP stamp in the side:

ontop of that all the wheels they make are styled after other popular JDM designs.
ROTA grids for example are just knock offs of te37's
ROTA circuit 8 are MUGEN mf8
ROTA slipstreams are SPOON (desmond) SW388's
why give money to a knock off brand
plus for fakes they arnt that cheap
this has been done to death over the internet, search google if u want ur answers on this topic.
personally i use rotas, i couldnt give a shit what other people think what i have, if u like it then thats all that matters.
yeh the idea is if u where to slide into a curb most fake rims would break crack or shatter, but these JWL stamped wheels would bend and absorb more shock. either way you would have to replace or get it re finished.

TBH Harricade, I think it's mostly hype. I'm personally not fussed about rota vs genuines on a cheaper/daily/idgaf kinda car... however if you're going for an expensive build on a legit beast, it definitely gives a 'tacky' look.
Same deal with XXR and sportmaxx
its like fake nike vs real
the fake one still covers your foot and seems ok
I will feel stupid wearing the fake
Get whatever suits ur budget, as long as ur not joining the "stance" showing them off lol
