CA RB Rota / Rs watanabe wheels

Hey , i wanted rs watanabe rims for my FC but they run at almost 500 per rim . i was currious if anyone has bought rb rota wheels before and if they really do look like watanabes.


rb rota = http://www.rotawheels.com/wheels.asp?wheelid=34

rs watanabes( F8 type ) = http://www.watanabewheel.com/products.htm


i dont mind puting out the money for watanabes , but if they are close enough il go with the cheaper option.

Definitely close enough. They both look like the original old school Panasport rim.

the RB's look good, we've had em on the race car for a few years now. not the lightest things in the world, but they are pretty strong too, and the price is right
