you could care less, but for others it does matter.

there are only so many ways to design spokes, most brands have extremely similar wheels and change a few details and then it's considered fine. :shrug:
yes, but rota's intention is to outright copy designs. not just one or two similar designs, but almost every popular JDM design is outright copied.

170/wheel vs about 255ish (RPF1 in 17x8) isn't considered just barely more in my book.., it's 50% of the Rota more..
i never said "barely more" i said not that much more. enkeis arent triple the price like a forged volk, but the quality, weight, and strength of the MAT wheels approach that of a forged wheel. and for "only" 50% more? that's a bargain in my eyes. for others it may be too much...
