Sooner or later those knockoff companies won't have companies to copy from.



Knockoff wheels support terrorism......

you fail to realize that there are people who will NEVER spend ridiculous amounts of $$ on wheels. does it cost Volk 3X the money to design a wheel? hell no, they pay some entry level 3D cad guy minimum wage to design their shit, so why do we go on and on about it being the original design. it's a round cylinder with a center hub and spokes for god's sake.

i'm not pro-rota. but i am anti-waste. and $2000 wheels on a $9000 car is a waste, unless you can PROVE that said wheels increase the resale value of the car by $2000.

nope?


then give up. without knockoff wheels, there would be no market for "genuine" wheels. it gives you wheeleeetist assholes something to snub your nose at the rest of us for, and the fanbois something to save for 6months to be able to finally put on their econobox, followed immediately by them getting curbed to shit by a valet or your mom/sister/girlfriend (no sexist comment, just stating the way it's gone down in my past)

what's worth more, a curbed to hell volk or a curbed to hell rota?

What you failed to realize that in my post I did not mention anything about JDM wheels like VOLK or any other JDM company.
There are other companies out there that design and develop their own wheels for a reasonable prices
Support those companies that bring originality into this industry
