good work there ^^

I was under the impression there are quite a few wheels which are lighter than the rota\'s though?

Either way. There isn\'t enough decent dishu in the range to make me want to fork out for some

Don\'t take it personally, it was just a passing comment, not enough to go affecting your business!

Essentially they\'re:
Boring designs (if Rota copy others wheels design/idea why not do something interesting?)
Common - because they\'re pretty well priced made etc I know, but still - seeing them on every other car puts me off, especially combined with point 1!

I have NO problems with build quality or anything like that (my comment implies that there\'re better wheels out there, not that they\'re crap), I don\'t have any because they just don\'t float my boat.

And I doubt you\'ll get another reply from me for months if you do post a reply to this - I\'m in NZ atm and on dial-up!

Haha, fair point on the lack of reply ;) It\'s more a general statement of fact I would like to make, rather than having an arguement, dont want to give anybody a hard time :)
 
Rotas are lightweight, about as light as you will find for cast wheels in their size.
 
The Work Emotion Kai is actually heavier than the Rota Torque that looks similar, in the same sizes, I know because I have both sat in the warehouse.
 
Most places quote weights that are make-believe, so on paper look the same or lighter than Rotas, but when you put them on the scales it changes ones perspectives a little.
 
No dishu?
 
Eh hem...
 

This is an 18x12 ET0.  Show me another dealer in the UK with this sort of size in stock ;) 18x12 ET20 also stocked by us in the UK.

Am I missing something, or is there no editing of posts on here?

Nope, u cant edit posts.

Personally, I love rotas and would love a set for my fc, cos its the look Im going for, however a lot of people prefer my dished chomies, unfortunately Im skint or else I would have a set in an instant, unless rota fancy swapping, lol, mine have been valued at £900 so I could probably get the set I want for that, lol
