That's probably a little bit harsh. Rota's wheels are at least reasonable quality, and they've never directly copied other wheels (to my knowledge), instead leaning towards the "inspired by" side. They've gotten a bad rep because people will throw Rays/VOLK/SSR stickers on the fakes.
In this case, the copies are actually sticking the Rota name on the wheel...directly impugning the brand rather than just lifting the style. Rota has actually built a somehwat valuable brand as producing "safe fakes"
