i feel we can have a healthy discussion about this.
most know how i feel, i can't stand when people run fake / replica / copy things and they try and pass them off as real, also IMO if you don't have the money to run a real piece you shoulden't buy the replica, and save a little more to buy the real thing.
Although I understand and respect you opinion, I DO understand why some people purchase replicas and such - some of us just simply don't have the money to pay for the "real deal." Some replicas/knock off's should most definately not be used, as their quality is disputable, but still....I'm still, unfortunately, a budget builder. Nowadays I find bills more outstanding than ever, but I still want a decent looking wheel on my car, therefore making a Rota or other knock off wheel much more appealing. Believe me, after I've rounded out my build a bit, I will be saving up for a more "respectable" wheel.
Either way, both sides are easy to identify with.
