The same reason why we don't like counterfit money in this country.

Whats so "ghey" about not throwing down thousands on a set of wheels?

Plenty of people here run Fliks which are a relatively cheap wheel and they are nice. As rough as I am on wheels, I will never spend that much on BBSs. I could, but it is not worth it to me.

If it is a legal replica, I see no issues with it. I like the look of the LMs, but can't justify

spending that much for a brand of wheel. If you want to spend that much, then that is your choice and there is nothing wrong with it. From a ethical stand point, legal replicas are fine with me. I understand illegal counterfeits being an ethical issue. Some things you just can't go cheap on, wheels to me are not that critical for baller status.

So get some Fliks and stop supporting counterfit companies who profit from other's work.

Those replicas are not legal.

I can guarantee that BBS has styling patents on the LM center and logo. If it were worth their time, which it probably isn't, they could sue the replica company.

I'm not the one looking for replicas. The guy posted looking for a bbs replica wheel, and all he got

was people telling him to not be "ghey" and spend 6k on wheels. If you have a moral issue with replicas, thats fine. But this isn't a "who has issues with BBS replica post". I am sure you can find a legal BBS LM look-alike wheel for cheaper than 4-6k. If you know where to get them, maybe that information would be helpful.
