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 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.
