That's not true. They are heavier yes but they are also plenty strong enough.

And when you say they don't copy forged wheels, do you mean they don't copy wheels they make themselves that are copies of other wheels?

The idea is that you can get away with a lighter wheel by forging it, but strength remains the same.
Obviously you can reverse this and have a heavier wheel that is stonger, but that seems a bit pointless.

Better to be ironic than dumb....
Rotas are manufactured to a standard and have quality control. They are good wheels at a good price.
What you don't want is a wheel that claims it's a quality controlled Rota, when it hasn't been cast correctly and not quality controlled.
Then your wheel breaks and you get people slating Rotas when it isn't even a Rota wheel.
And then internet morons jump on it because they are like sheep and can't think for themselves.

How do you know what corners the manufacturer is prepared to cut?
Afterall, they are prepared to cut corners in the design by copying others....
Naive; dumb; moronic?
