Which is actually the point of their press release.

Not that people make copycat wheels. Clearly they're guilty of that themselves. But they at least don't mis-represent their wheels as anyone else's. This counterfeiter is purposefully trying to misrepresent their product as someone else's, something Rota has never been guilty of.

What they are concerned with is that someone is making knockoffs and passing them off as Rotas, and that people could be buying wheels they think are Rotas that really aren't. That's a very far cry from someone purposefully seeking out copycat Rotas because they don't want a $4,000 set of Rays.
