Umm no.. you are not supporting no one but yourself.. the guy you bought them from supported them but not you my friend.. that money is going back in his pocket. And I don't care what little 350 you spend on little decals or bs after you bought your used wheels that shit don't matter.. your 300 don't add up to the 1000 per wheel they could have made if you weren't cheap. There is nothing wrong with buying used wheels but don't preach like your helping the manufactuer like you bought it new. And you know why people don't post up pics of expensive real wheels all messed up cause it wouldn't make a difference. The well known companies just say oh well would you like to buy a replacement, whereas a company on the come or knock off as you people call it are more frequently on the forums and yes don't want bad publicity but also are willing to help us out more. Funny how people talk all this shit but never buy dealer parts for their cars.. wtf is the difference?

did you just disagree with someone making the same point as you?

No, he said that it doesn't matter if you buy used legit wheels because you're not buying from the company that originally manufactured them. The company still loses money because you didn't buy at retail price.
