Fixed that for you, bro!!

 

Those do look sweet...

[The Dat-side]

Yeah doing it on my phone at work and a customer came in, had to wrap it up. Simplest HTML tag too. Der, der.

[MicroMachinery]

Mmmmm... fake wheels... :cool:

.

The fake Hayashis look the best.... :cool: ............... .... at least they don't have 8 lug holes..... (they better not be 4x100)

[INDY510]

 

^^^ Look ma ......... fake longchamps

[metalmonkey47]

Fake? I don't give a fuck. They look SWEET!

What I like is instead of hunting for a certain size and offset which is almost impossible, so we have to compromise. If they are new you get tons of sizes and offsets to chose from. Yeah!!

I sent the northern california rep a request to make the Hyashi Streets about a year ago and he came to Troys and looked at them and requested a picture of them to send to their designer and asked for the popular sizes for a 510 so I am hoping he took my advice on what to offer as far as offset told him 15x7 +22 and 0 TO + 5 FOR THE ZX strut guys and I asked for them in a 16x7 +22 so I am hoping they listened and didnt go just after the honda guys

expensive??? I payed $950 for my 16x7 Panasports used 6 years ago new they were $1300 or something, the rotas in the same size new are a couple hundred less than what I paid used... and they are a bit lighter than my Panasports

i want the work equip knock offs in the first pic myself

Expected to come in 4x114.3 and 4x100, 15x7" ET20 and ET0 and also an awesome 15x9" ET-10

Enkei is re-releasing the classic Enkei 92 mesh:

 

 

[Bleach]

The 92s look cool all new! I had some of those and they are super hard to clean them thoroughly.

 

RB-R are still one of my favorites that Rota makes

Maybe that's the problem???? ....... ... they shoulda used 2 pictures when designing these longchamps:

 

 

15x7 +35mm

 

 

 

 

 

Non-fake .... Non-cheap Longchamp XR4s:

You could buy 9 rota wheels for the price of one Watanabe shipped from Japan:

I really like the gold center ones :cool:

They did a good job copying that wheel!

 

I have to be honest, It bugs me when I see something like this. It's one thing to be inspired by design and add your own flavor, but that is a straight up copy. :no:

.

Their designers are not talented enough to make a "new" design ............ so they just fail at trying to copy classic designs:

I agree with this. It's even worse when some one see's some Hayashis and thinks they're Rota knock offs. I wish the real thing was easier to get ahold of stateside. IMHO, the real thing looks better.

^^^^^^^ > Rotas, Wats , and Panas.. Just sayin.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And my opinion on fake wheels (oldschool style ones) is that most of said designs are out of production.... So what does it matter if rota or other companies make "reproductions"? SSR isn't making money off of sales of their used wheels... Rota, XXR, axis, Sportmaxx, Drag and the many other companies are filling a niche and I for one am glad they are.
