I was being sarcastic as rota had a bad reputation back in the day of making the Te37 knock offs that would crack. it was kind of a badge of shame if you had rotas instead of rays. but in all I do think rota make partially forged wheels these days.

Rota makes flow-forged (flow-formed) wheels. A bit stronger, durable and lighter than gravity cast wheels. Like everything else, you get what you pay for. But for a purely street use and aesthetic POV, Rota makes decent and affordable wheels.

In comparison to Rays (Japanese),
this is how BC Forged (Taiwanese) does it...
