Talking

I just bought Rota SDR's and they look sweet. No problems yet, seem like its just a no name brand instead of buying the "cool" name brand.

We make tons of wheels for various brands, not just ROTA. Some of them are for the Japanese market and are branded with high end JDM brands. So basically what you are paying for is the brand name in some JDM wheels.

Of course, if you are talking about forged wheels, then that will really be more expensive. But if your talking about expensive casted wheels and ROTA. They are made the same way, with the same aluminum material as the expensive casted wheels
