they would sue the company that are selling them as ssr replicas, not rota..... they are actually called rota D2....

either way.. SSR is no longer alive since tanabe bought them out...

I would use a set for winter wheels if they came in 18" , considering how my wheels get destroyed from all of the salt during the winter.

I wouldn't be surprised if the picture of the SSR's on their site are the ACTUAL authentic SSR's.

Once you buy them and they're sitting in front of you is when your eyes will be opened and you will realize you got juiced!!!!!! That infact the copies are not even close to the original...

$650 for all 4?..........Bwhahahahaha.....
