yep, i agree. just get the rota you like on your car. it's not like your wheels are going to win you anything.

especially will not win you any status if you're driving a Honda Fit, the cheapest car Honda sells in the US.

hahaha. like putting a rolex watch on with a k-mart jacket.

I quickly grabbed some quotes with a seach, links to the references are below them.

Motegi Racing Performance Wheels

300% strength increase means 3x stronger, not 300x, just so you know. And I have Forged RoJa LT5's. I would rock Rota's anyday. They are the best Bang for the Buck rims out there. Plus, when you DESTROY one, rota still makes the same colors and sizes and types of wheels, and they are like 100-150 a piece. they may not be forged but they are DISPOSABLE at that price. You can't get a rim repaired for 100 other than paint blems. And I have seen some Hardcore rim taco's before, including 1200/wheel BBS 3 piece and such. I had one customer that had 4 breaks in one rim that was WAYYY worse than that bimmer rim even, cant find the cell phone pic I took tho. It was just exploded on all sides from hitting a huge sinkhole
