Im not saying they are good. Technically they are very behind, they only make cast wheels, while other manufacturer had moved to spun rims/forge, MAT tech etc etc.
I wont rock Rota on my Car (because of the weight of their rims). but to have a blanket statement like "Rota will always be crap" while saying "BC is good". ------- just makes no sense, since they both have the same business model: "make OEM stuff (Contract manufacturing), then copy the techniques/design to make my own branded stuff."
They are kettle and pot: one of the same.
PS: you know whats funny? 20 or 30 years ago our fathers/grand fathers probably had the same argument.... Something like "SSR is a BBS rip off!" "ENKEI Rips off OZ RACING!" etc etc etc.
Now we are doing the same shit.
See Fred, with those old mesh designs and the like, I don't know if anyone really even knows the origin. There is a lot of crossover with those designs over the years and even then, the real makers dont do exact replicas. There's always differences and they also contribute many unique designs themselves, whereas Rota design HQ consists of a guy copying and pasting templates from Volk.com. It's just slightly different imo.
I get you but my main point here is just because there was a faulty rota or bc pics on the net which we all can find of every brand does not make these brands bad. Even tein or enkei have failtures.
Its all forum talk and like everyone knows all of us will have perferences and different opinions on any brand.
It all comes down to preference

Only skimmed, but customPINOYrides.com and one of their sponsors on the right is ROTA. Strong bias. But seriously, not a bad read.
The 'who copied who' at the bottom is interesting, but yeah its a little different when Rotas WHOLE aftermarket line is replicas and don't contribute ANY designs of their own.
