Bakit mas mahal ang mga wheels ng Concept One kaysa sa Rota?

Is it because mas maganda ang make and quality ng mga wheels ng C1 kaysa sa Rota?

Not necessarily, I think the main difference would be the fact that those are imported wheels, taxes, tariffs etc... While Rotas are local... In addition, economies of scale din yan, Rota supplies for most local OEM wheels so naturally their cost of purchasing raw materials are cheaper...

Lastly, marketing, of course.

imported ba ang concept one? from where?

Another factor why some wheels are expensive is the manufacturing method used by Rota as compared to imported brands. Most Rota wheels are cast or light pressure forging which are inexpensive but results in wheels that weigh more.

As compared to Concept One, some of ROTA's mags are lighter.

ROTA is also considered an inexpensive brand in the US, hence, its extensive use by trackday afficionados and autocrossers. ROTAs are usually lightweight and they're cheap. While they're not the strongest wheels, you're not going to cry over them when you kerb them in a race as much as you would over lighter and more expensive sports mags.

ROTA pa rin! Support the local industry!

Taiwan ako shift ako sa rota from 15" c1 to 17" rota.. y? PRICE!!! at tsaka design.... parang mas ok talaga ang rota compare to concept one....IMO Maganda lng ang C1 because of marketing strategy nila( which cost the difference in price between the two and not to forget tariff and taxes)..

Tama si sir niky... Support local industry....Proudly Philippine made!
