THANK YOU FOR SAYING IT!

I love Rota wheels and have been a customer since they became big here in the US. I know they copy other wheel designs; but at least its under their own label; not under the same manufacturer.

Cast wheels aren't the problem. Sh*tty quality control is the problem with smaller companies.

What everyone else has said, the 5zigen FN01RC's are good wheels. There's no reason to get rid of them.
