nope, cuz that just made you look like yet another opinionated internet tough guy. Lay out the facts clearly, and people will pay attention.
I don't condone intellectual property theft either, but then again, are Rays, Work, Racing Hart and so on actually doing anything solid to stop it? We could have a lengthy philosophical/psychological discussion of why knockoff wheels may or may not be as bad as, for example, knockoff watches or designer wear, but this is neither the time or place for that.

For you, these are all important concerns that motivate and ultimately dictate your purchase; however, for most members interested in upgrading wheels, they simply want something nice looking that fits properly at a good price. So, they search out reputable vendors that sell inexpensive cast wheels... that in fact meet or exceed international manufacturing standards. They invest a few bucks to personalize their cars, and the wheels perform well and are extremely reliable under everday driving conditions, and everyone is happy... except apparently you.
