not disagreeing with u... i bought a second hand set of wheels with a fair bit of damage but at a decent price i believe..... (gutter etc)
Going to be getting them fixed

TBH rather by second hand over replcia's IMO

Rota is actually a decent brand when it comes to Rims... There quality isn't to bad... Just much heavier then genuine i believe...
Not saying i would trust them though lol

ROFL. Metal Composition and quality of fake rims obviously aren't up to the genuine ones, clearly thats why there is a price difference. But for companies such as Rota to manufacture rims on that of a large scale, i'm sure they would need to meet certain road standards.

Thickness doesn't mean strength though. It's the manufacturing process that's important.
