if Rota were to copy it and just cast it, they'd end up with a wheel that weighed about the same, but was VERY weak.
sorry to say this, Russelltheirate, but he's right..

so they add a little extra metal so the wheels don't explode, they sure as shit use the EXACT same visual design.

If you'd like I can go back and add the word "Visual" to all of my previous posts.

and Rota has had a few "issues" with wheels that were cast too "light" and they straight fell apart.
