I would still question the legality of it all, I can't really see why they would be that angry over it, if their product is really as strong as they would have us believe, then why worry? It's not as if they are the first company to have their wheels copied, in fact they are one of the last to have their product copied. They have had the luxury of selling their wheels for a long time so I am sure they have made lots of money. (as a side note, IF they were to make their wheels more readily available, they would probably sell triple the wheels - or more - I think everyone will agree here)

I don't see it as competition, I doubt that the people who buy knockoffs would ever spend 3x the cash for real ones.

I think it's like saying the kia forte looks like a civic (it does), so if any honda dealer has a used kia on the lot, they will lose their dealer license...

I am just playing devils advocate here, I own 7 sets of rays wheels and have previously had even more, I also own one set of varrstoen.
