Rota's new Watanabe influenced wheel

Peep it. Where as the RB's were more of a Panasport style, thes RK-R's will have more of a Watanabe look. Knock off or not, if I had a 4x114.3 or 4x110 lug patterned car, I'd get them. There will always be two arguments. The purist who state their case to supporting the cause and keeping the scene and the true makers in business. Then there are the people who just can't argue a decent price.

I don't see them looking as good in a positive offset format.

These aren't allowed on Honda's, or FWD's in general.

Ah, Rota Aleicas. The lips are a bit wide but I'd have to seem them in context.

rotas suck big time simply because all those rare jap wheels will be so common it will make the authentic wheel look not so rare and cool :?

Oh no, Rota copied the watanabe wheel. I'm gonna kill my self. But wait, watanabe copied that design themselves in the 70's from the UK. Superlite, minilite,... already had that design in 1962. What now?
