Everyone has their opinion on aftermarket parts but most havent owned the product they are putting down. They are quick to say "I heard" or "my friend had a pair". It all comes down to what you want them for, show and shine or track and auto x.

I went with Rotas and didnt spend $4500 on rims and tires, so that puts a big smile on my face. If they get cracked, missed balanced, or chipped, I can always buy a new set and still have money in my pocket.

Thanks for the great customer service and help from wheeldude. I will be getting my next set of rims from you Dan, thanks again.
well said, and ur car is hot

Just needed to post an update. Had many cars bent and broke a couple of wheels, however, there are two types of bumps, the smoother up and down bump that makes you rub.... And then there is the deal breaker, the one that is immediate and violent, jars the entire car.

Last night was driving and hit one of the violent ones. Probably definitely one of the harshest ones haha. It did something that has never happened before, the friggin winshield wiper lever turned on!!! I was like WTF??? I thought for sure wheel was bent and thought I was for sure going to be losing air on the ride home.

Got home and all is well.....still amazed at how my windshield wiper turned on haha.....

...and my 17" DPTs are still holding up to the car going airborne fairly regularly (sometimes 5 nights a week ). Granted the come down is angled so as its not a jarring landing, but it's still 3400 lbs returning to earth. Who knew that barring impacts like curbs and rollovers they would be as reliable as any wheel
