There is a significant price difference. That's the only reason I was asking. If there isn't a big difference in performance, then I'd rather have the Rota's. That would make the Rota's a better value as far as price to performance. I've been reading about it on other forums. The only reason I've found that people give is quality, but no one has explained the difference as far as quality. I was wondering if anyone on here knows?

Do you know about how much of a weight difference there is?

I thought someone's Rota's cracked

I'm with Olivia... save up for what you want. That's pretty much why I've never gotten wheels.

I think the works wheels are like $1300-1500. I can't remember but I did price them out a few years ago. I saw Bradley's car and decided against it, I thought looked sick and then I noticed the location. This was before I met Bradley

I would definitely go for the works then.

Rotas are good wheels but why get the knockoff when its $900 compared to $1300?

I'm thinking about getting a wing, for downforce of course.
No but seriously, I think the Nismo V1 and V2 wings look good, considering picking one up =)

have an appointment with the body shop next week. clean fleet in metairie. they will cut me a check on the spot. and i'm also asking for reimbursement for the value of the vehicle going down. hopefully i'll get that, then im just going to order a CF hatch. =] and probably a new bumper since that'll probably need to be replaced either way.

you can't see all the damage bc its mainly scratches on the bumper. and there are two dents on the bumper you can't see.

OH you have damage on the hatch, I though you had front bumper damage.
Makes a lot more sense now.

How the hell did that happen?

That's the one I have, but I filled the emblem spot in, because I wasn't paying $150 for the Veilside emblem.
