or people could just buy good parts from good companies instead of trying to get the best cheapest deal on shit... wonder if they made up a report like that for Rota wheels, cause thats just as gay. guess id feel different bout this thread if i didnt care what something cost and have to check for pricing just to find the same part cheaper.. closing thoughts if people wouldnt be cheap dicks they wouldnt have to worry bout getting shit parts. i think its great that people do fakes, that way the faggots that do say well i dont want to pay full price ima check and see if i can find it cheaper DESERVE to be getting shit like this!!!!

not like those braces do all that much, except get polished by people who barely drive their cars

Rotas are a little different. Sure they are similar to other wheels, but they don't try to be anything but rotas. Some people might try to pass them off as the wheels that they are modeled after, but that is the end user doing it, not rota(that was addressed in the link).

Sacrificing quality for the cheapest brand I can see a problems with, but not baring shopping for a quality part. Say you stumble across the ASR brace on ebay or other site thinking someone is just trying to sell of their overstock, or old inventory I would snatch it up in a second(depending on the rep of the seller). I am not going to go out and spend more money just to spend more money on the same item.

when rotas came out how many people you think tried pawning them off as real, by painting them stickering them? im sure it happened, and i see the difference because rotas are established now and people openly dont mind buying cheap wheels cause they dont want to pay the money for real shit, but its like blox, and megan and other parts made the exact same, it will be an ongoing debate for sure cause like that cat just said some people who use them will just polish them and put them on and like it how it is so if that was my mantality i would say by the knockoff and save money whenm its just a piece to look at.. if i was wanting the real deal i would stay away from the ebay gold and when i was like fuck it, its only for looks than save them peso's and buy the cheapo and get the look your going for.

closing thoughts, the companies that make fake shit should be like rota and come out and say "hey here are parts at a cheap price buy em or not buy em" but its YOUR decision either way.. and then the guy whos just going for the LOOK can save money and get the parts they need.

It's cool to buy knock offs, but trying to pass them as legit is stupid.

If it works, what does it matter the brand? Oh well.
