second... 200 pesos? wtf? haha nah. i got it for 500 bucks.
they retail in cali for $500-$700 a set. (if anything prove me wrong)
and do like the works, but i didnt buy them just because they looked like works. i bought them because they were nice and works is a well known brand down in the States.
so all the rota haters... you guys have got to relax. i just wanted to show people what i bought in the philippines. not be a brag about getting them and making them look like works.

oh and work is a well known brand THROUGHOUT the WORLD. they're made in japan. but there is a reason they're well known.... and its not for the style, its for the quality
wow... are you serious ^^^ EVERYONE KNOWS THAT ROTAS ARENT AS NICE QUALITY WISE AND LOOK WISE AS WORKS.
damn can you guys stop being ignorant and just face the fact that i got rotas?
didnt i just say i got it because it was nice, cheap, and well known...
like c'mon are you retarded.. everyone knows works are a higher quality brand.
why are you guys hating? its my rims. oh and im sorry im not rich, and i bought rotas, i bought these from my graduation money.
. Nice rims man good buy.

^^ true, a strong, well built, good quality, expensive wheel still gets bad damage on accidents or daily use so knock offs to me makes a good daily driver, the good ones are reserved for shows and away from thieves
