All I'm saying is if you compare the "Fit and Finish" of a Volk product to a Rota product in person it becomes apparent that Volk cares more about the overall quality of their wheels rather than just making wheels that get the job done.

duh rota and other companies that make replicas focus on making wheels that cost less for those who don't have as much money as others or are on a budget

Rotas are not really inferior to stock WRX wheels. Both are more or less the same construction type and quality.

They ARE inferior to the forged wheels you get on the STI or as an option on some other Subies. People pulling off NICE expensive forged BBS stock wheels and to put Grids on an STI are idiots. Doing the same on a normal WRX with cast OEM wheels isn't nearly as much of a sin, comparatively.


EDIT: When the fuck did this become "Discussion Status"?
