Only reason I don't the opti is only 6.5" for 15 and 16. otherwise they are sweet.

technically.

Visually rota stole the aesthetic design of the wheel to cater towards individuals who wanted to look the part of a better/more expensive wheel, or exploit the ignorance of the uninformed, and since that worked so well were able to sell wheels for cheap catering towards the frugal minded who know the design (visually) was stolen yet prefer to spend their hard earned money on a less expensive wheel that meets their needs.

that's a biproduct of them being popular for the first reason, if they didn't sell as many for the first reason they wouldn't be cheap for the 3rd reason. haha.

oh well, most people have already chosen sides. :D

tires are the most important thing, hopefully you're not skimping on those.
