Well it is going to happen when we have pretty much the most popular color, there are going to be some ugly ones.

Well i guess you can call me poser but they were cheap and i didn't have to pay for shipping i was already in the Philippines (Rotas are made there) I had a cousin bring me to this factory where they make Rota and some other brands. I think the rep at Philippine aluminum wheel inc. said they do the cheap labor for a few brands such as 5zigen and Enkei. Besides the only difference is the labeling. I weighed real TE37 (18" x 8") and compared them to my Rotas (18" x 8.5") and the TE37 is only lighter by like 1 lbs. The stickers are authentic. I got them from Rays. I'm pretty sure they'll know why i'm buying a 4 rim set of stickers: to put them on Rotas (which i think make pretty good knockoffs of them) especially when i'm ordering them from the Philippines. Like DOMO said... least i'm being honest. I think they look pretty good. I didn't want to buy them at first too because they were knockoffs but like i said they were cheap. But i'm a poor college student that loves my flint mica tc which pretty much this thread is about. If i'm offending Rays i'm sorry i promise when i get the money i'll buy the real ones. Like your motto says XIEmperorIX "all show and no go"...

just because you admit to them being fake doesnt make it cool or w/e to put real volk stickers on really fake wheels.

I applaud you for your honesty and the wheels do look good, but not because of the stickers. They would look nice without them also

To be honest I wouldnt mind seeing my wheels with the CR KAI stickers from Works but I refuse to do that to myself. One of my dream wheels are CR KAI's in "WMB" (chrome-ish) or even the real thing in black. With the red stickers.. Sick.

Will I do it? no

I cant hate. For style, they look good. I bought knockoffs too because I liked the style of a wheel but cant see spending $500/ea for them

Well they put it on the rim so it's not like i had a choice. I would take it off but wouldn't it have the sticker's outline on the rim? I don't know how long they had the sticker on the rim for. I did have a thought of taking them off but if they're gonna have an outline of the sticker that would be a bigger fail. any thoughts anyone?

why not find a place that makes decals and have them make you 4 that say "ROTA" and 4 that say "GRID" to replace them. just a thought. i think they look less plain with the stickers but the volk and rays stickers are a no no
