Rota... Least number of letters, easier to tell friends if you're a slow typer.

Konig... All German king-like. Royalty. Whoot whoot!

Drag Wheel.... If it's your kinda thing. To each his/her own.


Seriously dude, you question is a bit open ended. How about some specifics?

I think the best one is the one that makes you happy and puts a smile on your face.

There is no significant difference between them. They are all "affordable" wheel companies. In a lot of cases their designs are replicas. They all use similar "affordable" methods of casting and finishing their wheels.

I own a set of Drag wheels. For the price point they have been fine, no cracks or bends yet. The finish started failing after the second year at which point I had them sand blasted and powdercoated, now I use them for winter wheels.
