[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

The real funny thing about that quote is that if you take a set of JNC LM knockoffs and add a set of decent hub centering rings, I spent only $300 more on my MAEs.

$300. For beautiful wheels that won't crack and blow out on a pothole. For wheels I can turn around and flip for the same price I paid for them or more.

QFT, I researched a lot and actually found some one piece wheels from Taiwan with the stamp on the face near the lug holes.

I'm starting to see SSR reps coming out of southeast Asia (Malaysia, specifically) that come from the factory with SSR centercaps. Pretty shameless.


The knockoff wheel industry (and all knockoff industries in general) thrives off the fact that people believe that the look is all that matters, and that they will receive just as much attention and accolades if they buy cheap knockoffs of quality products as they would if they ran the real thing. If we care about design, quality, and originality, the only recourse is to not prove this mindset right.

Wait....zoo what the fuck even happened? lol

[zoo]

This is what I am referring to:

hey mikey g you might want to un pucker your lips from sams ass hole and sam if i chose to buy the "cast knockoffs cause its in my budget" since im not a bankroller like you and have a family to support on top of wanting to have wheels on my car than thats my choice fire up the fake wheel **** all you want sorry i cant be buying 5g avante gardes or vossens and tires for my 08 kia that aint much that im gonna drive where theres no stance scene and no one will give 2 fucks about my fake wheels

replica aren't allowed to do so. And, you se the tiny tiny gap between the center and the barrel.

The consumers buying them are guilty as well.
"OMG check out my wheels I know they reps but its cool"
No, its not.

Agreed, it is truly all on the part of the consumers. Without the demand the supply would not exist to this extent. Its so sad now to see old beautiful wheels not able to be sold for a few hundred bucks but people ask for nearly 1,000 for reps on chinese tires.

Freaking rep companies are ruining the wheel industry.

Normally all you have to do is check for the bbs stamp on the face, but I did find one set of 1 piece wheels that did have the bbs stamp on the face, however they did not have the model number/specs by lug holes, some reps are crazy close

Fake 100%.
The bolts will come out, but it is a 1 piece wheel.
Dont get excited.

That's what I figured and didn't buy them, I was just questioning myself once I got back. I guess replica companies are stepping up their game by adding nuts in the back.

Thanks for the conformation and Happy New Year!

but still its fairly easy to see the real deal as they stamp bbs on the front. replica aren't allowed to do so. And, you se the tiny tiny gap between the center and the barrel.
