When I buy knockoff parts I don't feel as if I'm supporting thieves. I feel like I'm supporting a company that's offering a good product for a low price. I won't buy anything that's low quality. By the way, the only "knockoff" parts I have are some strut braces.. cheap and ugly, but functional.

I don't care much what a wheel looks like... and the looks are really all that's being copied by Rota. Rota wheels are made with a different process than the wheels they typically copy. Rotas are high pressure cast, the wheels the spoke designs copy are typically forged. Hence the price difference.

I have a problem with knockoffs that are low quality. And of course, as a 240SX owner, I have a problem with knockoffs that only offer "Honda" sizes.

Speaking of Hondas, when lurking Honda-tech.com forums, I notice something interesting. The guys with show cars and street cars are all running genuine Spoon, Regamaster, Racing Hart, etc. and they love to slam the knockoffs. The guys in the Road Race/Autocross forum that are out there flogging their cars every weekend and winning wheel to wheel races? nothing but Rotas and Koseis...
