Default Help with wheels

Anybody know any other manufacturer that makes a knock-off wheel that looks like the Asanti AF-122. I couldn't upload the pic.

You can't use the work knockoff around here. We got a lot of folks who have an elitest attitude....like knockoffs are for that subculture of people that live on the other side of town where we wouldn't be caught dead.

I've seen these sevas in person and they look really nice. Good quality.

Not really a bad thing , who likes knock offs ? it's like putting a fake gem on a ring made of platinum.

I think it's the terminology that makes people cringe. Just because another manufacturer makes the same wheel doesn't make it fake or of any less quality. The wheels I have now would probably be considered knock-offs and let me tell you they are quality wheels. I've hit some nasty potholes and bumps that would have dismantled the high quality 17" Lexani rims I had on my other Lex and they never got dented or anything. I only paid $1k for them on eBay and they have really impressed me.

So don't knock the knock-offs.

The spokes are a little too thick for me. I want a really thin spoke.
