HKS you must really want a set of these rims so bad since you created a new account on this forum April 2012 and most of your post is on this thread. LOL
I have an extra set just say so..:smile:
I just happened to come across this thread (since it's a newer thread) and I'm hoping there aren't any others like this. It's bad enough for Civics to be rolling on fake weak wheels, and now an NSX??? C'MAAAAN!

Dude, really? Give me any wheels by any manufactur and I can garuntee you I can break them. My friend snapped his volks off at the hubs on his 240...he hit a guard rail at 60 mph but it does happen. Showing pics of broken cheap wheels proves jackshit.

To each his own, but what a way to raise the bar for the rest of NSX owners/reputation flossin' fake wheels.
Thanks, I replaced my Work wheels with similar LM Reps!
You should definitely try it, the feeling is so liberating!

Its no different than people running VIS, Seibon, DF, etc parts on their car. I wonder why people are so sensitive to replcias when its about wheels.
henry,
you ever thought about ss change up?

I personally don't care what parts people put on their cars, because in the end it's their money and their car, and they can do whatever they want.
That being said, I will try to explain as clearly as possible as to why I am against replicas and will only put genuine products on my car.
Keep in mind, I worked in the JDM part importing business, so I have an insider's perspective as to what knockoffs do to the industry.
Stated frankly, knockoffs stifle innovation. It may seem a bit of a bogus statement, but it's true.
I've personally taked to Powerhouse Amuse (a very big tuner in Japan), and they told me that they have axed plans on making body kits for certain cars because they know the kit will be knocked off immediately after it's produced.
Just think about it this way. Amuse has to do the R&D, pay money to design the kit, make the molds, and produce the kit. All a knockoff company has to do is buy one kit and make a mold, and start producing from there. Amuse takes a huge risk and capital investment to produce something, and a knockoff company just reaps the benefits. In the end, it's the legit shops that are getting totally screwed by knockoffs. Soon, knockoff companies won't have anything to knock off.
Sure, BBS is a large company and will most likely survive even if knockoffs do exist. That being said, by sporting fake wheels, you're saying it's OK to support knockoff products, which are essentially killing the industry, if you think so or not.
Another way to look at it is, knockoff companies steal designs. I personally think thieves are on the lowest tier of low.
I look at my vehicles as an extension of myself. When I look at my cars I can feel proud that they represent the best image of the vision that I planned for my cars. If I want a certain look, I will wait, for years even, until I can afford to purchase the genuine piece. I am a person of patience and quality, and it shows through the cars I build.
I take great pride in everything I do, including my car builds, and I am definitely proud to support the genuine creators and innovators of a design, rather than just trying to get the look for the lowest price.
I understand that what I've written can come off as preachy, but please look at it as a new perspective as to why knockoff products are actually really bad for this industry that we love.

Very well said.. I admire you for being honest about your opinion.
Can you please name atleast a few here in the forum (US) who has a real nsx-r hood, nsx-r wing? How about the real deal-NSXR car? Hmmmm....none??
Okay the truth is not all of us are as passionate as you are...I have other priorities than spending thousands $$$ of hard earned money on a hobby or sports...we all have different priorities in life...
If you're happy dropping $10k on a real nsx-r hood then I'm happy for you..if someone decides to get a seibon hood then it's fine by me too...if you're car is a garage queen then buy a $10k set of wheels ..i like to drive my car on every Canyon Run - I may look for something practical and inexpensive...but that's me! I work hard for my money and I should be able to spend it the way It satisfy my needs..
My point is - I can't justify spending money on the real NSXR - but I've always wanted one so thus the NSX-R sticker on my replica NSXR wing...
Henry I believe Tom has all the real deal on
His nsx-r conversion :biggrin:
Zaid
