XXR wheels are really at the lower end of the market quality-wise; at least Rota makes OEM wheels for certain manufacturers, even if their after market stuff is replica-based. --------------------

Since 1976, our factory facilities have specialized in the design and manufacture or aluminum alloy wheels for original equipment and after-market automotive applications. Currently we have two factory faculties that produce in excess of 2.4 million wheels each year. Approximately 60 percent of the wheels products are shipped to Japan, 20 percent to the United States, and the remaining 20 percent are distributed throughout the world.� � � � � � �
In our production, quality is the main objective. For quality assurance, all our wheels are certified by the international standard on accreditation of ISO 9002 and QS 9000. The factory also obtained the qualification of Japanese VIA Standard on quality testing which guarantees that every wheel meets their vigorous testing standards. When you purchase our wheels, rest assured that you will be getting one of the best on the market.

I've no first hand experience, but over the years I've read plenty of forum posts about poor overall finish and general low quality. Thin paint, poor polishing, flaky lacquer, etc. I've no doubt they have many happy customers. Each to their own, I guess. --------------------

Its a long long way off yet so things could change... Also the ET of 0 could surely cause issues when mine is ET35-38... -------------------- Previous cars: S14 200sx, EK9 Civic Type R, Lexus IS300.
