First thing I noticed was the title. "Tired of geting pwnt by knock-offs?"

Was that intentional?

well I mean I am not loaded and if I like the look of the wheels and they are too expensive for me I will be looking for replica ones for cheaper and still get the same look for less money. Would I be ashamed to say they are replicas, no, will I be a poser in some car nut's eyes for doing so, most probably, will I care, fuck no. haha

I think it's pretty funny that on your replica wheel thread you state...

I'm starting a list on wheel replicas, and I'm getting some additional contributions from more ppl. Feel free to add to this list if you like.This thread is not intended to bash anyone, just to shed light on how widespread the replica market has become, and hopefully become the most comprehensive replica wheel database available. I'm not too familiar with the euro and domestic market, so those will be needed as well!

If you always wondered where the design came from, this is the list! This also may also help those who want the "Work/Volk/BBS/etc" look, but the replica prices. It's your money, and your decision.

New blog coming soon... stay tuned.
...yet on your blog you bash pretty much every replica wheel listed. As an owner of replica wheels I think it's just a tad bit biased verses just being a comprehensive replica wheels database, no? Just my
