Agreed.

I don't know about anyone else, but I like the look of the embossed Rota logo on the knockoffs.

Probably when Rays, Advan and Wed Sport stop using other people's wheels to design their wheels?

It was released because the knock offs are poor quality and they are being marketed and labeled AS ROTA's.

So if one of those breaks and kills someone it's gonna blow back on rota. Better to blow it out of the water now than later.

Rota doesn't sell you a set of wheels with Rays labels on it.
