Default DPE or Rotiform

Whats going on peoples! In a few months I'll be home from Afghanistan so that means spurge time! I'm looking at those Rotiforms, I must admit I'm not that familiar with the company but their BLQ doesnt look bad. They look somewhat like the DPE RFK's. Can someone feel me in on Rotiform, they seem legit, site isnt bad, but I dont want to have some high end ROTAs or Varr Dogs. Any advice would be great! Thanks in advance.

Royal T was one of the first ones on here with Rotiforms, I'm sure he can help with quality questions. Personally, I like Rotiforms over DPE.

That was directed at the OP

He mentions specific wheels and should have links included. How can someone give an opinion if they can't see the wheel?

Any proof to this? Thats crazy...

Also I don't think the BLQs belong on a Z (with a lip or without)

Rotiforms are also very expensive if you don't opt for the lower end blq or nues

Go with rotiform, i've never really been a fan of dpe wheels. Plus with rotiform you have the option to switch faces when you get bored with them


18lbs baby, 19x10/11


Royal T rotiform




However i do like these DPE's from Royal T, but these are the only ones i like. And if you get these you'll be known as the guy that copied him lol

They are crazy light but I honestly think it's a lack of material in the barrels. I like the tmb's that my buddy had but I wouldn't buy something at that price for suspect reliability. Go dpe... Talk to royal-t..

DPE RFK > ROTIFORM BLQ
my opinion based purely on looks, had neither so can't give opinion on quality.
