Actually, it clearly was, and I love you how say forums plural. Since you bring it up, it was only 1 forum, NASIOC. I posted a couple funny Rota-themed motivational posters. The funniest part is that it was in a thread that someone else started, showcasing their own set of cracked Rota wheels. You threw a fit and they issued a gag order. I then made a new screenname and made no posts. All I did was send a PM to an admin, to protest their hasty decision. You trying to twist the facts and outright lie? No shame. Sadly, that forum took the stance where they give preferential treatment to someone that lines their pockets and proved their management to be unreasonable. Good thing other forums, such as this one, allow open discussion within reason and relatively fair treatment.

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.

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.

did you stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night or do you actually know what you're talking about? I dont know why you throw info out there when clearly you only go off by what others say in other threads.

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 would like to think I'm pretty level headed and I hope others can see that in my posting. You mention that I didn't call anyone else out but singled you out specifically, could there be a reason for that? I would love to link everyone to what you did on this forum and Nasioc but those posts have been deleted as they are clearly against forum rules and are illegal.

Hypothetically speaking, if I worked for another wheel manufacture and registered an account to say other high end Japanese wheels were not JWL/VIA certified and bad mouth another product, etc.. would you believe me? You have received your warnings from moderators for your actions just as these members received theirs for what they did. If I had the US Distributor of Rota registering fake accounts to bad mouth other companies maybe I wouldn't have to be the retailer stopping these false claims/rumors That's just speaking hypothetically though, because that wouldn't really happen would it?

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.

then again my gf (who knows nothing about cars) probably would not be able to tell the difference...

was that what you were asking??
yeah your right I can usually tell volks by the scratched lip from people washing their car

What companies or distributors registered fake accounts to bash you? None of them. What retailers/distributors registered fake accounts to bash Rota wheels? None of them. Manufactured "facts" FTMFL.

Gimme a break, spin doctor. I was goaded into replying to you, not the other way around. I wasn't even directing anything towards you until YOU chose to point lies and exaggerations at ME. People are discussing a wheel brand, not you or your operation, so give it a rest.

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.

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!

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.
STFU! Stop your b*tching. Why are you even in this thread if you don't like Rota? If you got the money, why don't you buy us all Volks so that we won't be tempted to buy knockoff? You crybaby!

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..

I'm a smartass 24/7 not a dumbass. How smart do you have to be to be a speed skater?

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?
