I'd say the Hartmanns are knocking off the Works. Maybe that's what you meant though.

Agreed

The 42s won't clear those fat-*** HP2s anyway and the 30s look better

... so how does wheel replicating work? you just outright steal the design?

surely there are no patents on the design of the wheel right?

why is it OK/legal to blatantly copy a work design ... yet when the BBS LM design was copied ... they were instantly shutdown by BBS ...

is it just that BBS is willing to actively defend their design and work is not?

did achtuning go to work and get permission to knock this wheel off?

rota is a company that makes TONS of knockoffs ... i dont see how they dont get in trouble ...

can someone school me on this topic please?
