Miata will out handle a fit any day.

Rotas are cheap wheels, and probably made cheap as well.
+ Mass produced.

I hit a few pot holes here and there and the wheels are holding up great. Konig's are also popular among the Miata crowd and I never had any problems when I had my Miata.

good point. here honda guys get all bent out of shape when they slap 500 dollar rotas on a 16k car, but then you have subie guys slapping 600 dollar rotas on their 30k sti's after taking their baller bbs' off.

if a subie guy can do this, i think there is no room for us fit guys, or any honda fan for that matter, to complain or harp on rotas.
