Because these companies blatantly rip off intellectual property/design. There's no creativity in what they do, it's a "thanks for doing the design and showing that the product is wanted by customers, we'll just copy it now and sell it cheaper." It would be the same thing if you were an inventor, released an invention of yours, then a Chinese company copied it and sold it for 40% cheaper and no one wanted to buy yours because it was too expensive. At that point, what motivation do you have to continue inventing?

But honestly if someone wants to buy knock off wheels, go for it. Just stating why people have a problem with it.


Anyway, I commented on FB that this was the first car picture I'd saved in a few years.
