Am i the only one that thinks Rota Grids look like cheap shit? And not because they are Rota, but because they are a shitty plain looking rim.

The red stripe TE37 copycat looks a bit better though...

and yes i'm aware it's a Volk copy but the real Volks have a better finish or something....they just look better

I don't think they look cheap. But it does wear thin because they are on about every make and model of car.

I prefer the simple plain look. I am not really a fan of the decals on volks.


I am sure they are to other peoples taste but I would like either a Rota or a Volk in just a plain colour with no decals.


Like these ^^^ would look better without the decals.

For a 20k street car, doesn't make sense to drop 4k on rims.

Also go for decent rubber.

You don't give him enough credit. He comes up with some words-of-wisdom every so often.
