alright here's my story, i am planning to buy a new set of wheels for my civic. and my plan is to make it JDM style so my options are 15'' SPOON SW388, 16" MUGEN MF 10 and 16" WORK Emotion CR Kai. now, when i was doing some research on what wheel is best to buy, i stumbled into a forum, a guy there is sayiing how simillar is the SW to an SW rip off. its so similar that you can't really tell which is which. and i was really surprise on what i saw, you can't really tell the difference. the worst part is, its way way cheaper than the SW. the rip off is called ROTA Slipstream. further researching, i found out that not only they have SW rip off, but they also have rip off's of various wheel brands including the the MF 10 which they named it Circuit 8 and the Emotion which they named it Torque. (although the MF 10 and the Emotion are not that similar to their rip off's 'cause you can really distinguish which is which if you are familiar with the wheels.)
now, just wanna know what are the pros and cons of buying a rip off. can someone tell me what would be my advantages in buying the originals, are they my money's worth? pls. help me on this, would really appreciate any help from you guys.
