fact is there is more to substantiate quality and durability when looking at wheels like RAYS, Enkei, etc. than for companies like Rota. period.

He's just stating that Rota's get slammed a lot when it's not really deserved.
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.
