Those are premium brands IMO. The same argument that can be used to praise acceptable tires like Falken can be said about Rota's. It's a good product when you look at the price.
And please accept my apologies about the tone of my post to you. I just get tired of seeing people who feel superior because they bought Volks "for performance" but wrapped them in the cheapest rubber they found. Falken 452 isn't a bad tire, but it's no PS2. Anyways I didn't want to make my post to flame you in particular.
Cheers and have a good week-end

They sell good products for the price. I never said the contrary. But they're not premium. You won't see them underneath a supercar just yet.
My post was meant to highlight the hypocrisy of people who crap on Rotas because they are not "brand names" while at the same time accepting to compromise on other aspects of their vehicle, such as tires.
I like Rotas, I think they are great looking and affordable wheels and I'm glad they exist, same thing for affordable tires.

^ your posts keep sounding wrong...your basically bashing any tire that does not come stock on a car. In this level of car how many people do you see out there looking/wanting a Bridgestone RE040 in a 245/274 size to fit their aftermarket rims??? None because they perform poorly when put up against these "lower quality" tires as you make it seem...you are bashing anything that is not "main stream" which goes the same to the VOLK fan boys as they seem to be the "main stream" but when comparing a tire to a rim its not the same situation...tire brands don't copy the themes of high "name brand" tires as you call it. I mean once you get the big baller cars do you see the PS2's stock, which i'm sure most on here would say is a great tire...but for the most part excluding those european high end sports cars' tires there is always a better performing tire around the corner.
im not bashing you just that the argument of a rim company stealing a theme of another does not apply and cannot be argued in a tire.

Honestly, I don't think anyone should hate on any wheel. Some wheels are less expensive than others because of material costs, manufacturing costs, and production costs. I had rotas, and now I have volks. I can honesty say there is a difference, but there is also a big difference in price. So if a owner doesn't have or want to spend that kinda money on wheels then they won't. That is the logic I used when I purchased the rotas on my 06'. I knew I would drive the hell outta the car so I purchased wide wheels that were inexpensive and bought expensive tires that had a purpose. In my case, I got into the accident and got screwd in the end and the insurance company didn't pay for my wheels. So if I had a 4k dollar set of volks, I would have been screwd even worse. Moral of the story is, buy what you want.

Hehheheh....
Let's stop worrying about rims and tires and let's worry about that little puny *** weak sauce, Honda-Fit-sized front brake calipers that comes stock on our cars...
I mean, whenever I see a Z with 20's Volks I'm like NICEEEE...then I look inside the rims and saw enough space between rims and stock calipers to fit five families of gophers...

There is a reason all the sickest Z's on this forum rock Volks, Work, Advan, AME etc etc.
I love my Volks, its nice to have some JDM bling on the car....
Personally I think the Rotas look ok, as long as they dont put VOlk Stickers on them! THat should be a crime....
