  • Beware of Fake Rotas. LOL

    I saw this on Jalopnik
    Rota Wheels do not enjoy the best reputation among tuners. While they do have some defenders, there's one thing about the wheels that's universally recognized: Rota designs are imitations. Now, in kind of a hilarious twist, it looks like they're battling copycats of their own.


    "The counterfeit [ROTA] wheels have recently surfaced through some wheel dealers in Malaysia. They are manufactured in China. The most distinct feature of the 'copies' is that they are embossed with a ROTA marking on the face of the wheel, whereas the genuine ROTA [wheel] has none. They also come with a center cap bearing the 'ROTA Wheels' logo. They are packaged in plain brown boxes. Original ROTA wheels come with boxes that feature ROTA markings and 3D wheel drawings.

    "ROTA Wheels undergo rigid testing using JWL/JWL-T standards to assure you that you are purchasing quality wheels. We cannot guarantee the safety of the copies so please be careful with your wheel purchases," said Michael Rojas, president of PAWI.

    ROTA and its logo is a registered trademark of Philippine Aluminum Wheels, Inc.

    Genuine ROTA Wheels are made proudly in the Philippines."

        Fake rotas have raised "ROTA" letters, while real rotas have nothing. Makes it look nicer IMO.

                  I was thinking about the same, when they made a copy of Rotiforms BLQ and everyone lost their shit. Seems that no one knows that Rotiform copied Lamborghini.

                  Stock wheels on a Lamborghini Gallardo.

                    There is a difference between an aftermarket version of an OEM wheel, and a copy of an aftermarket wheel.

                              So many big wheel Company's make Copies of each other and nobody cares. Yet one some smaller company comes along Boom look at the Reps. I find it kinda funny.
