Focus Racing knock-offs...


Recommended Posts

Is nothing sacred anymore!?  Bought a set of Focus Racing last year and was waiting to re barrel them but could decide on the 510 or the 1200...

I'm so sick of knock offs made in China...

 

Here's the link, but...it won't work. Check it out.

 

 

I'm talking about focus racing rims and also star sharks. They're made by XXR

They don't even have to be counterfeit.......

Bosch has moved their spark plug production to china, and now they are having problems.

 

But I don't see how this pretains to the wheel auction in Japan.

Have you heard something about them being imported to Japan from china ?

So basically XXR one of the kings of knock off wheels are reproducing fakes of all the Japanese classic wheels out there. There's a site that talks about all the new wheels being copied. I'm annoyed because I own a pair of Focus Racing rims that are pretty rare and now everyone and their mother can have a set of pretty good looking fakes.

​Now I have to troll Yahoo auctions to find something else. I currently have Longchamps on the 510 but in the last year or so, hordes of people have been putting them on their 510's, so time to move on haha.

 

I guess I'm kind of a wheel snob. Such is life.

 

Cheers...

Specifically I was thinking of NGK iridiums (Honda uses them on their V6's for example).

Know what you mean.....

I recently reported a seller on eBay for selling BBS LM knock-offs.

He even had fake BBS center caps on his wheels.

 

It took eBay a while, but I don't have his wheels coming up in my 'BBS LM' search any longer.

Maybe there were other people reporting him, or maybe BBS themselves did.

BBS are made in Japan also one time.but good quality

 

Bosch move to China?????????I cant believe the Germans would do this.  Maybe for the aftermarket. But not for brand new cars.

 

 

I would buy CCW Classics (clones if they had a 15x7 or 16x7 in +25mm offset)   Baller on a budget

anybody know where??????????

 

I do SSR mesh but don't want to run them for some reason. I think somebody would steals those!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank the Clintons, the 90s were all about exportation of production plants to China, part of the new world order globalization movement iniciated by liberals.

 

Diego, we have a thread for political bullshit.  You know where it is. ;)
