Forged wheels were designed in a way as they are forged. Less materials were used on the spokes and the barriel while maintaining high strength. Companies who copies a forged wheel but use casting method, the strength will be seriously compromised in order to accomplish similar weight.

Rota isn't retarded. They may copy wheels, but they're not cast EXACTLY from the same same mold. All their wheels are JWL certified and whatnot, and there's only been one batch of model with repeated failures (which they replaced for free for everyone who had problems).

Yeah, and there's only 9 spokes vs. the 10 on the CE's.

I remember having the sh!tstreams on my civic and I traded em for Si rims.
I was thinking the J-Mags look alright but not anymore after looking at them on rota's site.
For me Rotas =
