You're a reseller, just like all the vendors on here. Performance Nissan is the #1 Volk reseller on here. They don't go around crying when knockoff wheel-lovers talk **** about Volks. Klumyzee sells all his bodykits on the forums, but he doesn't b!tch & moan when people think a one of them is fugly.
You're not special. What applies to a noob and every other forum member also applies to you. Don't post pics and even ask for it if you can't handle opinions, comments, compliments, criticism, etc... You making a killing selling your parts, so stop being ridiculous, run your business, make your money and get over yourself.

You already had this debate with other members (not me) in more than one thread, which you lost. The so-called certifications are only on equipment that can be purchased, not on the materials and/or processes. Throwing out thinly-veiled intimidation towards someone who refers to a pre-existing thread is pathetic. That kind of behavior is reminiscent of how Monster Cable tries to strongarm every small company that has Monster in its name.
By the way, any pics of the wheels actually mounted, you can't really give a good opinion on how they look till we see what they look like on the car?

I've only posted a couple times in this thread. Not one of them was bashing, whereas there are people bashing (on both sides of the argument) in this thread. Instead of singling me out, spend your time calling out people that warrant it. Since YOU chose to call me out for no apparent reason and aggravate ME, I guess I'll respond.

I'm not replying to anymore of your posts, it's obvious we have different views and opinions on products and what we view as ethical/fair to do.

I think the wheels look good, I can't afford to pay 3-4k on rims. Yeah, they are knockoffs, but that's all some of else can afford. I do agree, the mods need to do something about bashing sponsors on here. Every time the poor guy post some of there new products, the same **** happens. Really, we all know you thoughts and we are all tired of hearing them. Let the guy do his thing, mods please put you foot down, special how the economy is now, these are looking better and better everyday. We don't what to lose any sponsors right now, specially ones who are saving us money.

yes a person who knows wheels can clearly see a difference between the beautiful satin black finish of the CE28s, the nice center caps, the stamping on the wheel itself, etc. VS. the ugly thin plastic blank center caps of the Luffs, the overall fit and finish, etc.
then again my gf (who knows nothing about cars) probably would not be able to tell the difference...
was that what you were asking??

People all over the world have problems with specific wheel brands, Rota being only one of them. They voice their opinions, share their experiences, spread the facts, etc... about the WHEEL BRAND. Why would a retailer suddenly pretend it's a personal attack against their own business and go off the deep end? Is there something we don't know about? Are you more than just a retailer that happens to sell certain brands of wheels? Do you have more of a stake in Phillipines Aluminum Wheels, Inc. (PAWI) than you let on? Your questionable tactics certainly raise some questions.

Bottom line... Buy a set of Rota and keep the change to take your girlfriend out to dinner, movies, and shopping. Also stop crying!

At this point, I could give 2$hits about Rota's vastly improved quality. Cheap imitation wheels do no R&D, nor do they have a design team. They simply steal the design and sell them to ppl who don't want to pull the trigger on the real thing (but want the "real thing" look). I have been guilty of buying replica parts in the past, but I try to avoid it now after seeing the impact in the industry. I guarantee if you guys personally put out a product, and someone completely stole your design, you wouldn't feel the same about this issue. I have no respect for rota after seeing this latest travesty.

You are absolutely correct! Some people are just hating because they dished out their whole bank account just to buy the "Real" brand. Why pay more when you can get one that looks just alike? The quality? Sure the quality of Volks is better, but it doesn't justify the price difference compare to the Rota.
Bottom line... Buy a set of Rota and keep the change to take your girlfriend out to dinner, movies, and shopping. Also stop crying!

And these are your first two posts?

some of the **** people say is a joke. if you dont own and % of volk stop coming up with excuses to bash rota. just keep the negative bs to yourself. i have rota's and i bought them cause i like them, and their a good wheel for everyday street use/abuse. also if i wanted a set of volks i would simply order a set, their not that expensive for a someone that isnt married and has no children.. my opinion..

If we had a conversation in public and you were yapping about your Rota's I would say they knocked off Volk's design. And you would skate all over me to show me I was wrong and you are right correct?
