The formels look okay dead-on, liek in the first two pics Scott posted, but when you see them at an angle, it's the spoke depth that throws it off. In fact, I just noticed a pattern.... I never like Rota's copies of forged wheels, but I sometimes like their copies of cast wheels. I think the necessary changes in spoke design are the cause of that. Examples: Attacks and Tarmac/Tarmac IIs look okay to me (reserving judgement on TIIIs until I see some in person) but I really dislike Formels, Grids, and (sorry guys) Boosts for that reason. rotas, especially the newer designs, just look cheap... not only are they obviously not the baller wheels they are designed after, but they don't even look like $700 wheels in most cases to my eye.

Okay, I admit, Aaron's car breaks all my rules. Gold 6 spokes look hot on that car. Too bad they aren't SSRs.
