The site founder is a my350z member. Several of us contributed quite a bit to that site by identifying a ton of knockoffs.

I hate replica wheel companies... especially the ones that try to market themselves as innovative and original.

No, it's a 350Z. The owner is on my350z.com under the sn: simann or something. Search his posts/threads over there...it's hilarious.

I just looked over those pages on fakewheels.com..interesting.

well u gotta give props to the originator of wheel designer(s) and companies...
knocking them off, welllll...its a good/bad thing i guess.

real enthusiests can tell a real vs knock off. vs brands.companies..

avg spectator/gf/friend/mom/uncle/neighbor...would probably just look at the design of the wheel and say. OH I LIKE UR HATE UR RIMS...

but goes back to price tags preferences.usage.quality....but good info to know where some rims orignated from.

As long as people like you have the T1S in wide widths and low offsets, people won't mistake them for the Rota Linea Corse knockoff.

I can pretty much instantly tell an Axis wheel vs. a Volk wheel. Same with Linea Corse and Work.

Don't forget about Rota Linea Corse and their BBS knockoffs. Those are hard for me to tell in pics.
