Is that a Suzuki?

So I was leaving my car in a parking garage and as I'm leaving the guy asks is that a Suzuki?I kind of get it now looking at the Enkei logo on my wheels, but at the time I was about to just get back in the car and find another garage.

I had a guy in a GTI compliment me on my Rotas yesterday.

I have Weds.

I heard Weds copy ROTA's amazing designs.... so technically you should be pretty excited he mistaken them for Rotas

I just laughed to myself about it. It was funny; he thought Rotas were high-end wheels.

What is even funnier is that Rota only released the Weds copy earlier this year and they are already more legit than TC105Ns.

Ugh.

But now I'm thinking I really should have gotten the real-deal Konig Torch instead of these lousy ripoffs.

My gf's brother (who's in the VW stance scene and should know better) thought my Works were Rotas when I first showed him pics. Super lame.
