My only advice is to be careful when buying knockoffs if you plan on doing any type of roadracing auto-x. The casting methods that tenzo and konig use can't hold up to the heat generated by performance driving.

After a nice afternoon of auto-xing you hit a pothole then you find yourself spending the money you saved (by buying cheap rims) buying a new wheel

just my .02

Rota is race proven. They can sell their rims cheap due to the fact that their sizing is not a diverse as say...Volk or Advan. Rota also uses a heat forging process

Someone correct me if I am wrong

Edit 1: Also look into Racing Hart. Good wheels, good price, nice style.
Edit 2: Try finding wheels for a 4 lug RWD vehicle. It's a PITA! When you need offsets closer to +20 to +30 and not the famous Honda +45

What do you mean by their sizing isn't as diverse?

I don't think the c8's come with that? I believe the sub's do but I don't like those. C8's are really the only ones that interest me. Out of Rota and RH.

if they don't then get them in gunmetal. Actually maybe in steel since the steal rotas are more live every other company's definition of gunmetal. Rota's definition of gunmetal is almost black
