I don't care what people run on their car and I doubt he does either. I've badly bent (to the point where it was no longer usable as a wheel as it was near impossible to try to balance out) a Enkei due to a pothole at 20MPH but have run Rota's (off and on, I always have multiple sets of wheels so I rotate through them) for 9 years without issue hitting far worse than a pothole at 20MPH. I base my opinion on my personal experience and those of friends who I know have the experience to back it up. Lots of us run Rotas as street and track wheels because they simply work. They don't always looks the best (personally I think the Desmond Regas and thus the slipstreams look like crap), they aren't the lightest, but they do exactly what a wheel should do.

Enkei's are GREAT wheels without a doubt, so are Rays (although in the Volk line I don't believe that they are worth the money, and yes, I've owned them). So are a number of other brands, I just don't drink the Rota Hateraid like many people on the internet

Anyways, I think this portion of the topic has been beat to death.

Run whatever makes you happy.
