Simple as that. $50 vs. $5,000. Is the extra $4,950 a measurable difference? Different strokes for different folks. Some people have standards and pride in the products they purchase, others just care they have a watch. Some care they have a watch that appears to be of higher quality then it is. Others like their fake watch (see what I did there?) because it looks good and is inexpensive and have no knowledge or care about what a real Rolex is. Some people just want a watch that tells the time. And some people care about who made the watch and the time and passion that went into it. Some people like the novelty of an authentic watch and don’t have a single other reason. > > Personally, I’d rather not have a watch if it’s fake. I can already see the responses to this (“but you need wheels, you don’t need a watch!”) and the parallels people will try to disprove. > > Also, there are MANY wheels that are “replicated”, or I should say inspired rather, by legitimate companies. Most of the time these are discontinued wheels or mag race wheels that cannot be run on the street. They are NOT wheels replicated just to be made in a significantly cheaper way in a 1pc variation. This part does turn into a gray area because there are only so many ways to design a basic mesh wheel but the point is quality is not sacrificed. > > At the end of the day it all depends on your personal preferences and who you want to support. I like to support the dudes who have a passion in the same things I do and want to make a respectable and quality product they can stand behind. Other people support the people who see a niche in the market to profit off selling cheap products by stealing popular designs from reputable companies and altering them enough to not infringe on copyrights. I’m fine with people buying Rolex’s all they want. It’s when he Rolex owners start telling me that a cheaper watch doesn’t track time and isn’t accurate when vast majority of them are I have a problem. When you buy a Rolex you don’t pay for time keeping, you pay extra for heritage, prestige, quality, hand making, smooth second hand arm, value etc. But owning a $5000 watch and looking down on people buying $100 watches that just care to know what time it is, because they don’t own a Rolex is ridiculous. Like you said, different strokes for different folks. Some people just want a good looking wheel that will roll on the road but don’t want to pay for prestige, fine machining, heritage, aircraft grade bolts etc. Just the wheels. ---

Close but not quite. We a good friends with Jon @ CCW. Robert Dubler buys quite a bit of his wheels per year for the race cars and various OLOA stuff here. I’ve got a couple sets myself. Jon, at the time, did not have a 5 axis CNC that allowed him to cut the more complex “hollow” or scalped cut spokes like you find on some higher end BBS wheels. As of last we spoke I think he ordered the machine. ---

We’ve all agreed from the beginning that a rep rolls just as well as a real wheel, and does everything a typical person would want- if we are keeping things basic (durability, rebuildability, weight, caliper clearance, weight distribution, looks, etc. aside). > When you buy a Rolex you don’t pay for time keeping, you pay extra for heritage, prestige, quality, hand making, smooth second hand arm, value etc. > Yup, just like I said. I agree here. > But owning a $5000 watch and looking down on people buying $100 watches that just care to know what time it is, because they don’t own a Rolex is ridiculous. > Yes exactly like everyone against reps has been saying. If you can’t afford a Rolex, nobody gives a single fuck. I have NEVER hated on an inexpensive real wheel. Buy what you can afford, it’s all good. If you can’t buy a Rolex, buy an Invicta or Nautica or whatever. Just because you can’t afford a Rolex doesn’t mean you should buy a Rolex knock off. Right? I’d imagine you would agree here, or I’d hope you don’t support the counterfeit business. So now I ask, is it cool to buy/sell the knock off Rolex if that company started doing business legitimately and tweaked it just enough to not infringe on copyrights and trademarks? I say nah, design your own shit. You say yes. And that’s the only thing we really disagree on. (well unless you are down with illegaly sold fake Rolex’s also lol). > Like you said, different strokes for different folks. Some people just want a good looking wheel that will roll on the road but don’t want to pay for prestige, fine machining, heritage, aircraft grade bolts etc. Just the wheels. > Agreed. And I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. I just hate replicas and think there are tons of wheels for comparable prices that were designed by honest people like us that could use our business. Don’t take me too seriously though. I’ve owned reps, I have a lot of friends who rock reps, and I even talked my buddy into getting some XXR501s before because of the price and specs:lol Jus having a convo and explaining my point of view > [@Hair cut that doesn't suck balls](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/hair-cut-that-doesnt-suck-balls/46386/29): > > gucci gucci > louie louie > fendi fendi > prada > the basic bitches wear that shit > so I don’t even botha /thread ---

something to take into account is that you will also end up better off financially in the end if you buy “authentic” wheels. Same situation as buying a Rolex. When you buy rep wheels/rep watches/rep clothes/replica whatever… they don’t hold their resale value for shit. I’ve never had a set of name brand wheels that didn’t sell at or more than I bought them for. ---
