Sorry, I am part of the "don't screw over the originators" group.

Any quality sports car does not deserve low quality control, reverse engineered wheels. It's companies like them that steal ideas that turn this industry into shit.

People run E-Bay steelies at rallycross track days too, does not make them great.

There is a reason why serious sports cars, track cars, race cars and OEM wheels that are outside the phillipines market are not made by ROTA.
Please leave personal politics out of it. I know some people are very passionate about Original JDM parts, and some prefer to get the more inexpensive knockoffs. I am guilty, I have Attain knockoff bumper guards on my FC, made by JKL. Sorry if I can't afford twice the price, and in my case, the replica is better quality.

Also, if the design is just slightly different, it is not an illegal copy.

So, Phil, if you are looking for wheels for one of your FD's, or the RX-8, look elsewhere.
