Knockoff Roti's?

[Jedidiah]

James has the final word. Good roundtable..

[KarlSpackler]

So what are you really saying?

That this whole battle over rep wheels is stupid. I am on neither side here.
Leave the cheap wheel companies alone, they are a part of the market like it or not.

And the only 2 hondas I ever owned blewed up

[Han]

Although, there are definitely similarities for the BLQ and the LP wheel, Rotiform has definitely made them "their own." I mean shit, look at ALL the stuff they have now for that one wheel: cast, forged, 3 piece hidden hardware, 3 piece hardware shown, stepped lips, reverse lips, etc. They took that same design and did something for themselves to make it THEIR own. They're not trying to pass it off as "Lamborghini replica wheels."

[Tuck&Poke]

another note, no one is going to stop buying lp560's because they have a replica of the wheel, whereas a rep wheel would hurt a wheel manufacturer.

I know dude haha. Forgot to put it in italics for sarcasm.

One day when I save enough money, Ill have a d-series in my civic that will put rwd cars to shame. Well.. Apart from dori

[hypercrush]

was a joke, ive owned like 5 of them. had 2 EG civics, would buy again. but RWD is hard to argue with

[Oxer]

'85.. No wonder..

92-95, the greatest years for Hondas.

[RS5.0tC]

^Mine never ran 85 Accord R.I.P. and I have never seen so many vacuum lines in an engine bay before that.

[Oxer]

Whats wrong with Honda's

[hypercrush]

KarlSpackler just laid it down, i couldnt agree more. lets all go back to making fun of hondas now, thats always fun

[4DGS]

I honestly don't get what you're trying to say Karl. You're clearly for rep wheels and you're defending Rotiform for making wheels that took design cues from other wheels.

Nobody said Rotiforms were expensive knock offs of other high priced wheels. Merely said that Rotiforms are expensive as shit (which they are for being a NEW company) and that they took design cues from an already well known wheel design and called it something new.

So what are you really saying?

Says the dude sittin on Replica LMs

Whether or not I have replica wheels is moot compared to the point I was trying to make. You're making yourself sound silly right now by attempting to make a point which clearly has been made before. Feel free to state your opinion, but don't call people "ignorant" or "ridiculous" for stating theirs.

[KarlSpackler]

I never said you were right or wrong? I don't want to derail another thread with the same arguments again. There are several other active threads on the same topics. Yes I despise replica wheels, I don't care about how "ridiculous" that sounds, its how I feel on the matter. I have no problem with cheap wheels, I have a problem with straight up copies.

And as far as Grids go. I don't consider them to be a straight up replica of the TE37, just so you know where I am going with that. But a ton of Rota's other wheels are direct replicas...

I honestly don't know what else to say because it seems like you are determined to make a fool of me in a public space.

1) I have had enough of that this past week that I'd rather not have to continue that.
2) I want to have a civilized conversation on a topic that has been beat to death already, I don't see why we can't have PM's about that.
3) Why does someone have to think that there is a winning or a losing to this? In the end, we as individuals are going to change anything these companies do.

Cool dude, we both got it out.

You have an opinion, I have an opinion. We both feel strongly about them.

/bitching

[KarlSpackler]

Do you know how ridiculous you sound right now?
