Do you buy generic prescription drugs?
Do you buy any store brand food/household goods?
I understand the concept, but no everyone can afford to drop $2000 on wheels and tires. I know LOTS and LOTS of track guys who care more about spending money on tires, suspension parts and track fees then wheels because the difference between Works and Rotas are 3 track days. Then they take their cheap wheels and beat the pants off of guys who are bringing 2K worth of wheel to the track...for what?
Sure...hardparking is all about image, so I can understand repping the real deal there. The people who buy knock off wheels aren't people who would likely have sprung for higher end wheels anyway, so I don't think much business is lost.
Rep fakes if it means more track time!
Edit: I'll note that I don't buy knock offs because I can afford not to, but I don't hate on people who do because their budget constricts them.
