I would assume the work wheels are lighter and stronger since they are supposedly higher quality wheels in general.
Again I'm not sure so I could be wrong. Regardless of which company they are, they look clean.

blomys14 does in fact have the work cr kai. You don't have to put the stickers on the wheels. Either that or he took them off. I believe he does have one of the stickers but not all. He is also dropped on stance coilovers. I don't know exactly how far. He's a good friend of mine. He would never roll Rotas on his car.

The price was right and I have never had any functional issues/problems with Rota wheels previously. Obviously they are not the same quality as work wheels and believe me its not like I would choose the Rota's over work wheels if the opportunity was there... don't bag on me too hard I still love my wheels!

I'm wondering if anybody knows of an actual difference, if any, between the wheels.
