Default Are Rota Grids good rims?

Ever since my rims got stolen last year off of my car, I've been rollin on the stock rims and tires. I finally have had enough of that and plan on buying some new 17's. I'll also be buying some serious heavy duty locking lugs to go with them.



Does anyone have Rota rims? How do they hold up to bumps in the road? I dont want to buy rims that are too soft and end up bending or cracking them. These are the ones I'm thinking about buying

Rotas are knockoff wheels. They are copies of high dollar wheels usually of Volks or Advans, because they are knockoffs and far cheaper than their genuine counter-parts, the finish isn't as nice (they chip easily) and they weigh more, sometimes more than stock wheels. Other than that I haven't heard any horror stories about them. I say get them, but be prepared people like to make fun of knockoffs, but who cares?

I have seen this, but I meant I have never heard anything bad locally or even on any forums that I'm on.
