Lighten up Francis, and learn how to fucking read. First, I wasn't calling you (or anyone else in particular) out. Second, like I said, I really don't care if you spend your money on something original that happens to be made somewhere else. What I do care about is people who buy knockoffs and/or counterfeits of existing products. In my book, the copying company is basically stealing from the company who had the original idea. If you send them money, you are helping support the theft. I remember many years ago some people were all excited because they could buy an ARB snorkel clone on Amazon for less than half the price. Those people should be forced to gag on donkey dicks for the remainder of their sad existences, but I digress.
Finally, I have OEM Rubicon wheels on my rig. When I buy new wheels, I will buy them from whomever makes the wheel I like the best. What I won't do, however, is find a wheel I like and then search out some cheap ass clone of the same wheel simply to save a buck or two. I like to reward hard work, ingenuity, and entrepreneurial risk...not some schmuck (foreign or domestic) who knows how to trace, copy someone else's c.a.d., or reverse-engineer.
