Are we sure these arent chopped....what am I thinking even a 5 year old that just learned photoshop could line those things up correctly....whats the designers excuse??

LOL... Dude, the shapes of the 10-spoke wheel are evenly spaced! It's just that there are only 4 lug holes in the wheel.

I know, it's all that math and stuff...

These are Big-boy Faux Volks for a Honda...

I see wheels all the time from many different companys that look the same. Who knows which manufacture came up with the original design. You can look in most magazines and see wheels that look the same or very similar to each other. Some people with smaller wallets may have the same taste as the big ballas out there. They may not care about name brand but like the design. So they can buy a cheap set of wheels for the price of one volk. It may be a crappy wheel that they might have to replace down the road because of it being poorly made but thats thier problem. The only people that are really going to care are the ones that buy the real deal because they spent more money but those are the only ones that will know what the wheel is to begin with. So what does it really matter.
