If you like 'em, then sweet! people that think a relatively cheap car should have $3k in wheels are out of their minds (and probably paid $5k over MSRP too)... I have Konig's on my s2k, and I get compliments from people ALLLLL the time... granted their not car people, but I'm not trying to impress anyone anyhow... is my car a little slower? sure, does it handle perfect, maybe not... but I commute in it, and it's not like it's the pinnacle of performance anyways... if I want to turn fast lap times, I've got the bike - bye bye every s2000 with $3k wheels trying to be JDM.

16's really mess up the ap2 handling. just get some 17's! looks good!
correct me if i am wrong, the difference between ap1 and ap2 is not day and night, as long as the offset and tire set up is correct, how will it "mess it up"?
if you are saying 17 looks better than i will agree but what does it gone to do with the handling department?
please, feel free to correct me.
it's funny, go run a search of any honda forum you'll see a good 80 percent of people rocking rotas.
for the price for knock off, their quality is not bad at all.
of course you would hear more horror stories around rota, look at it this way, how many rota are rolling around in the surface of the earth vs. some mugen/spoon or other JDM bling wheels? Just like people thinks ferrari are reliable because everyone knows someone with a broken honda(or ford, or any mass production cars)
it's all about choices, if you have 4 grand to spend on roller, pick your weapon accordingly. i rather spend the extra money some where else if the wheels are similar in spec and looks the same.
look at how many people running rota on the track, they are light and cheap.
yeah, they will bent if you hit it hard enough(let's say to a curb) but so will if you hit your volk to the curb.
again, it's all about choices and there's no need to flame someone because they don't have your favorite wheels on their car.

You must be out of your mind if you think that Ferrari's are reliable
btw the 360 is pretty reliable, but it does need quite a bit of maintanance
