    I stumbled across your channel like 2 days ago and watched all these wheel history videos. I must say I really like what you guys are doing. The production quality on your videos is outstanding and I really like the way you incorporate memes. I hope your channel grows into something big. Keep up the good work!

    I don't think they have to release their secrets to the public, but if anything they could show some durability testing, that's all anyone really wants to know; Is the wheel strong and light? When I'm done being a poser can I take it to the track like a real legend.

  • @nofaithjusthope8714
    @nofaithjusthope8714 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    The Rotiform cast wheels are HEAVY for instance the CCV in 18x8.5 33lbs, 19x8.5 36 lbs. I love the style but a wheel that weighs ton. They even state that their "new" engineering and casting method allows them to make lighter and stronger wheels
    OMG what would they have weighed without this new tech? ridiculous claim, they make some of the heaviest cast wheels around, unsprung weight wonder if they even know the concept?
    EVERY cast wheel they make is at least 10lbs (per wheel) more than others costing the same or less.
    They have beautiful styles but that's it, so if you don't care about the weight go ahead buy some of these pig wheels.
    This comment holds true for 3DSM, Radi8 and the like.

  • @MechanicalSlime
    @MechanicalSlime 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    With Rotiform, they say that it's all done inhouse but it's pretty much just assembly in house but they use to order very cheap lips and barrels which where very prone to cracking but since then they have changed supplier and it's been alot better since then.

    • @alexismendoza1545
      @alexismendoza1545 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      brian henderson Some of their designs seem very similar to iconic brands. Ex. I went to the LA car show and in the aftermarket hall i saw a liberty walk car with what i thought were Watanabe RS wheels. As i looked closer i realized that they were rotiform mlw wheels

    • @Kev27RS
      @Kev27RS 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      brian henderson It's not that they are fake... but some of their designs are look-a-likes / inspired by well known wheels from brands like BBS, WORK, RAYS, OZ etc...
      but they actually look good... 🤔👍

    • @brianhenderson9286
      @brianhenderson9286 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Well, there are a gaggle of wheels that look similar. Work Meisters look exactly like SSR Professors except a wee bit different. But nobody makes a stink about that. Equip 01's look like Hyaosh...hyoshi..hya...some old school wheel that used to be on a bunch of bosozuko/shakotan cars and nobody seems to care. My point is that, over a 40+ year period of industry, there's going to be some overlap. Especially if there's a wheel that's a money maker. I mean, nobody tells Kia/Hyundai owners that they got a fake car, yet their entire product line is/was built to look like something else. Nobody tells iPhone users that they got a fake Samsung or vice versa. I think these arguments stem from the wheel snobbery in our industry. And, for the record, I'm guilty of it myself. I only do replica wheels in THEORY. I'll never purchase your XXR's/ROTA/Varrstoen and the likes. But, I can appreciate their purpose in the industry.
