SSR is good but then again for a JDM nut like my self , i say put few extra dollars on Rj's pocket & get the Roja plus it's made by Rays the same company that makes Volks, & our 19inch oem wheels.

Depends on which Ro_Ja wheels you get. Most are made by American Racing, which we all know is garbo. The R2-5 and R2-7 are made by Ray's, basically rebadged G-Games wheels. However, Ro_Ja is still owned by American Racing.

this guy has it right. Also, depending on the SSR wheel you are looking at, the manufacturing technique is different, some are semi-solid forged, some are cast, and some have cast centers with forged barrels

Why are Roja's more JDM than SSR's which are also made in Japan and actually harder to get here?

i've been considering a set of SSRs myself, the C-RS, i'm looking for a 6 spoke design and really like that one. they are semi-solid forging process, lightweight. Tirerack is the only place i can find them at. I would go with SSRs as well.

Style wise i give the nod to SSR's (eg. MS1's are hot, that and im a Japanese Domestic Market ***** JDM-W)

SSRs I believe are semi forged (or fully?) and are extremely light. Honestly a good bang for the buck wheel compared to work or rays... But I've heard in some instances ( ssr comps) they have warped under tracking.

whereas roja....not too big on them...style is too inconsistent and random for my liking, cast made, and most likely a lot more weight than the SSR's.

and
if your a style ***** Roja = not jdm, ssr = very jdm (japanese domestic market)
