Shouldn't there be patent laws in place for this type of nonsense not to happen? Can they really make a blatant copy off all these wheel companies and sell them with their name?

Lol never sell your Works cause a rep comes out. You know what you have and side by side there will always be an obvious difference. What I don't respect is if people put Work stickers on them, yes I will call you out in person at a big car meet haha. Same as the people who actually put BBS center caps on the LM reps.

XXR and Rota have been copying for years... you know how long Rays has been trying to stop all those TE37 copies?

The best part is, everyone rocking copy wheels call them "replicas" - which is B.S. because by definition a legitimate "replica" is an exact copy produced by the original artist or manufacturer.
Whereas a "copy" by definition is 'any duplicate, reproduction, or imitation of an original.'

Which is why everyone calling their wheels "replicas" to try to make it sound legit have it all wrong to begin with

Actually I'm not selling my Works because of the copy wheel fake rep crap, I'm selling the Works because there's starting to be too many SC's on S13P's...
