Ok, I see a few that are direct Advan copies. Their VKP, T9C, RGD & RST are exact copies. Bummer. Anyone know what the RSD is a copy of?

The RSD is a copy of the RSD, they could be made in the same factory for all we know with a different label.

I didn't either, had to do a google image search but having the same names makes me very curious how they are able to get away with it if they aren't related companies.

I'm noticing both websites even refer to vehicle fitment as "tricks out".

The Advan RSD only has the lug holes, looks like the Takuma has 10 instead of the Advan's so they aren't the same wheel.

That's an 11 spoke, the others are 10.

I like the Work's but my OCD self can't deal with asymmetrical design. Just one of those things for me. 10 spokes are just the right amount of spokage too. The Volk CE28n would be another option for me but the spokes on this design are just a bit fatter which look really nice.

maybe they can get away with "RSD" since it's not "RS-D" (advan).
