RuckerPark - i run rota's and volks. my car gets equal respect with both wheels. actually most people tend to like the Rota's considering my Volks are bent  |
the difference in weight is a lot more than 3lbs. the 18x9 RE30's are around 17lbs. the 17x8 rotas are like 20lbs. in 18x9 i wouldn't be surprised to see the rota's up to 23lbs or more. that's ridiculous for a performance wheel. if all you want is the look, then buy rotas. i buy wheels based on their strength, and weight. that's why i pay the extra money and get the real thing. i've seen rota's split wide open on a race track. the volks i had on my accord went thru hell, and hit more than one curb at 60+ mph. i sold them a month ago after putting 50,000 hard miles on them without so much as making a scratch. RE30's will be going on the EVO soon. Volks or nothing.
