That is quite frightening, it's a shame they look so nice, such a waste.

everything about that photo makes me cringe.
rota's are the thongs of wheels.

It's a shame they look soo nice, because they are direct copies of genuine quality rims.

The black rims zoomzoom posted are Desmond Regamaster/Spoon copies.

I don't understand are they standard equipment on Jap Ice Cream Trucks? Is that why the are so cheap only 1.3k?

superlites will be plenty strong. its when you get people using gravity cast wheels and trying to get the same weights as pressure cast and forged rims that you get problems like you see with the rota's.

and i think the ce28's are used. new they are quite pricey - now over 400 per wheel for 15 x 7 i think.
