Ollieh17 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 apart from them being reps of reps and being able to get a nice pair of second hand alloys for that price plus tyres....idgo for7j Quote
JamesD89 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 apart from them being reps of reps and being able to get a nice pair of second hand alloys for that price plus tyres....idgo for7j Agreed there are some awesome, genuine jap rims up for grabs at the moment too. Quote
Lewigi Posted February 24, 2015 Author Posted February 24, 2015 apart from them being reps of reps and being able to get a nice pair of second hand alloys for that price plus tyres....idgo for7j how are they reps of reps? these arent genuine? Quote
Ollieh17 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 They are basically knock off rotas/te-37s which rota grids are reps of. Dont be fooled by the 'japan racing' name Quote
Lewigi Posted February 24, 2015 Author Posted February 24, 2015 To be honest though mate, no one really has the money to buy genuine 1000 pound wheels lol so these or rotas are the best for the budget. I don't want second hand ones either, I want something new and fresh. As long as they look amazing as these do, I think they are a good shout for new wheels. Quote
MARC MOSS Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Not japanese and not a copy of a rota Grid that an insult to Rays engineering I'd say it was an attempt to make a te37 rep but change it a little failing badly... Tell me, at that amazing price does it not worry you in the slightest about quality? Quote

Tell me, at that amazing price does it not worry you in the slightest about quality?I did say a rep of a rep. Most people will notice something is a fake rota rather than a fake real wheel these days Quote
daniel_g Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Are these copies of the ROYs ? LOL That are a replica of the Rota grid, which is a blatant copy of a TE37 ?! Haha Joking aside 7J is a decent starlet fitment. Quote
m11xky Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Define quality tho....weight? Durability? Paint job???Has anyone bought JR wheels and tried them?Or are we slagging off thing we don't know about?Everyone was saying rotas were crap a few years ago...saying they break etc lol I just don't think you are ever gonna notice difference unless you are on track and weight is a huge factor....

If you had a clue you would actually realise that a rota slip is one of the lightest wheels about and durable with a good paint job and on track would you notice a difference ? I think notThe whole slagging off and hate comes from the fact that they can't actually come up with a genuine design of their own and copy genuine wheels that were designed and manufactured years ago. Like said earlier nobody knows a replica wheel as a replica of a genuine wheel, everybody thinks nowadays that they're all replicas of Rotas. Quote

Lewigi Posted February 24, 2015 Author Posted February 24, 2015 Et25 8j will rub and you will need to roll your arches 7j would be easierCool thanks for the advice bro. Quote

Theres no need for that Quote
MARC MOSS Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 No need for what? Where's the insult, I was just making a point?? Quote
m11xky Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 "If I had a clue" lolWell I do...that's why I never doubted the rotasJust saying that a wheel is a wheel and a bargain is a bargain. Lewigi won't notice the weight difference he is going for looks and price....in which case it would be silly for him to spend more.As for reps of rotas...who cares....if it's a nice looking wheel on the car and gives the same style as a super pricey one✌️And yea 7J Quote
MARC MOSS Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Sorry dude didn't mean it to sound like that Quote
m11xky Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Sorry dude didn't mean it to sound like thatPeace and love Bro Quote
daniel_g Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 You get what ya pay for tbh. Especially cheap cast wheels made in a jungle somewhere. Yeah they look nice but do they go through the same QC as the real deal ? Wouldnt think so. Quote
MARC MOSS Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 It effects me these wheel threads I can't help myself lol I need counciling Quote
