GAB GT3 wheels...what do you think???

Currently Rota is releasing the 16" GAB GT3 wheels. They will be out in March. And Rota is asking people whats their opinions on what color should come out. The first batch will have silver, red, and steel grey. I personally would want to see black and gunmetal. If anyone else has any other colors let me know.

Because real GABs are red.

Rota is just going to kill every cool wheel there is. I don't want to see any colors. Tell them to stop making knockoffs of rare wheels.

1 real one = 1 set of rotas

I don't know what the real ones weigh other than "not much"

weight will be the same. 16" = 14.5-15lbs.

Gah! I love that conversion! So clean, and yet still so OEM

As for knockoffs, I've never had a problem with them Aside from people who must buy brand name everything for whatever reason, as long as the replica is strong, good quality and durable, I could care less if it is "authentic". The only reason knockoff ANYTHING (clothes, detergent, soup etc) gets a negative reputation is because of shoddy quality. From what I have seen and heard, Rota wheels are excellent for the price If someone has a legitimate reason for buying the "actual" rare wheel, then it still stands despite others buying the knockoffs

As for the topic, I'm really liking the steel gray for a silver, black or white car
