If a compnay is standing behind the quality of their products, why dont they get them tested by TUV Germany to get them Street legal here in Germany?

To my knowledge, that is the hardest test worldwide...... and this is maybe the answer.
interesting! Are knock-off companies like Rota popular there?

No, Rotas are not street legal here in Germany. They are not tested by TUV.

I whonder why? Sure, it´s costly. But you could advertise worldwide with the TUV certificate.

Lmao people are still worried about these? I have 120k miles on a set that includes multiple track days. They're fine. They're virtually indistinguishable from OEM, etc.

They are available in Tobacco Road's store on eBay. It looks like the rears are the only AP2v1 available.
