    I reckon rotas are sweet as. They offer looks, for someone who cant afford the real deal. And not all people are fussed with it being ORIGINAL or REAL, most couldnt give two sh*ts.

    Personally i like the rims, and i know a few of my friends have them, and havnt had any problems (yet lol). For the rims to be breaking or shearing, youd had to be an idiot and definately doing something wrong. This, is all IMO !

    you would think if that had really happened when driving you would see alot more/any damage to the actual car around the wheel well

    LoL.

    I wouldn't buy rotas. Sure they look cool. But I'd rather stick it out and find something genuine

    Most of the sheared Rota pics you'll see on the net are of race cars or ones that have been tracked. If you're just using them for street use, I honestly can't see anything like this ever happening, but if they're going to use any replica rims for racing, then I think they get what they deserve.

    All wheels will get damaged under extreme abuse there is no doubt about that.
    High end light weight wheels are not particularly strong. Just look at all the people that have had damaged OZ wheels.
    I think the difference seems to be a good quality wheel will bend or crack instead of snapping like these things seem to.
