lets be honest here. "time attack" cars from your local, but internet famous, "race shop" tuner is NOTHING compared to the multi million dollar race teams that run in F1, LeMans, WRC, DTM, WTCC, etc.
which ALMS team does Rota sponsor/supply again? how many F1 world championships do they have under their belt?
so how is that relevant? who knows for sure, but my hope is what they learn on the race track, trickles down into the wheels i buy. i can say that about BBS, OZ, Enkei, RAYS, etc. but can you say that about Rota?
and my point of view isnt that of an enthusiast snob. an enthusiast snob would be "Tein is better than Progress because JDM yo"! instead you literally cannot argue that a flow formed wheel is stronger and can be made lighter than a low pressure cast wheel. when it comes to Rota, the main thing that they have going for them is their price. and again, you can buy an Enkei MAT wheel for not
that much more, yet it will perform close to a fully forged wheel.
