This was in July but I'll add it in here too.

[HKSpeed]

are there really shops that sell both real and fakes? thats kinda weird

[Han]

That's not the point. The point is Mackin is standing up for themselves and as a business, that means you won't take any shit and back your products.

[z33allme]

Hahaha, finally. Good job, Mackin/Rays

exactly.

there area few BIG retailers out there that sell mostly knock off stuff. Its companies like them that are hurting my business. people at waterfest this year looked at me like i had a penis growing from my forehead when i told them how much my wheels were. my average convo was "$500 per wheel, no they arent reps, no they arent bbs." lol

its also tough for me to sell a set of PSS10 or a brand name set of coils when all kids want is a $500 set of FK. thats they way the "scene" is going. people dont respect quality products anymore. I usually dont get involved in these debates about real v fake. but this shit hurts my wallet first hand. your reps (wheels and everything) take food right from my mouth.

Thank you, Raceland.

good job mackin. lots of companies preach the "stop the copy" slogan, but being willing to take a hit for the good of the industry is walking the walk.

I was there when one of those people asked him how much those wheels were, except the set he had asked about was 300/wheel, and kid turned around like Dave had insulted his mother.

But do the dealers sell more Originals or more Replicas? Some retailers might opt to stay with the cheaper brand replicas that might be selling better. Which wheels do they make more money on? I'd be interested to know.

dealers that sell reps (wheels or anything) are a joke
