XXRs?

[Celli]

I'm gonna lay this out for you so you can stop asking questions:

People dislike replica parts because they negatively impact the automotive industry. Lets say for example a company like XXR goes out and decides to make a wheel that looks like a TE37. Volk Racing has done all of the research and design on that wheel. They have paid designers, testing companies, engineers, etc to make that wheel the best it can be. It will hold up to stresses that are far beyond daily usage and because of this they can provide a warranty on the wheel and assurance that you are buying a quality product. XXR on the other hand just says to a factory in China, "Hey we like how this looks, make this for us." They order 10000 sets and meet minimums and that's it. Their product is inferior, made with far less quality control, could have defects, has no R&D and therefore it ends up being far far less for the consumer. By buying these knock off wheels and supporting companies that make replicas, you are doing a disservice to the car community. If you buy shitty knock off wheels, the companies that make the actual real versions are going to eventually go out of business and there will be nobody left to supply new designs to the knock off companies. This is the reason why people **** on companies like ROTA, XXR, etc.

Wow, really put that well. I didn't know any of this when I bought my xxr.

Yeah what he said.

Also try this with XXRs and get back to me with the results.
