so..its either 1200bucks for work emotions
or 700 for rota torques

i plan on running these as my daily driver rims/tires and going up to the mountains maybe once or twice a season...

is it sacriledge to run the work emotions up there? gettin em dirty and salty?

i'm livin in an apartment so I can't really have 3 sets of wheels.....and I kind of want to do it once and get it over with instead of buying the torque and buying something else in the summer.

i also am disapointed in the rota colors. the gunmetal rotas really do look sweet.

I currently have works in my car and go canyon running once sometimes twice a month and wheels still seem fine. I get more rocks hit the body of my car then hitting my wheels :cry: its entirely up to you whether you would like to risk it or not.

I live in Truckee. I'm always going through snow. Don't worry about it. Just give it a good wash every couple weeks.

I think the key phrase here is "I live in an apartment" metal cylinders are not your priority
