but if you think about it, Rota wouldn't be so popular if they didn't copy other popular brand name design's and make them half the price.
I think on their part, its a good marketing plan to make money for those who cannot afford real ones.

That's just like see a bunch of people walking around with fake Louis Vutton man-purses and wallets. They can't afford the real thing.
well thats what happens where I live anyway...

In my personal experience though, Rota's are pretty durable rims and nicely made.
Another thing to keep in mind is that by simply using designs already established they can cut development costs somewhat and pass that along in savings to the consumer.
