Jaime - What are you going to purchase when the replica manufacturers have nothing to copy because the original manufactures have now deceased due to lack of sales to these replica manufactures. If it wasn't for them, Rota's aftermarket division wouldn't be as successful as they are today. I'm willing to bet that most people don't even know that Rota originally started out as an OE supplier but that doesn't mean the same quality materials are used in their aftermarket side.

You can say that the people that do support the original manufactures are being snobby, etc. but I will always support them regardless of what other people think.

Rotas sales do not compete with the sales of premium wheel makers like Volk, much like how sales of corvettes do not compete with sales of ferrari's. Even if the corvette never existed the people who couldn't afford a ferrari still wouldn't be able to afford one.

Another thing that people don't think about is you reduce the strength of the wheel when you have them powder-coated.
