that is straight fraud, someone should report these guys to someone.

Rick, contact your friends at Mackin, I am sure they would love to litigate these *******s into oblivion. I think copyright infringement has extremely stiff monetary penalties. And they are mandatory. (look at the RIAA cases)

You can definitely see the "Volk Racing" on the bronze rim, sidewalk shot.

if it says 'japan' and 'monoblock', it most likely reprinted the 'volk racing' that appears on the same portion of the rim face.

It appears (clockwise from the valve stem hole, 2 spots over, between (agin clockwise from the spoke preceding the valve stem) the 2nd and 3rd spoke.

This section of the rim can only be seen in the first pic the OP posted I think, on the bronze set of knock off rims. There is clearly language printed on the rim, though I cannot definitively say what is says (bad resolution), there is writing in the same location so we can assume if they copied JWL, Japan, Forged Monoblock and the other markings (when they are neither JWL, from Japan or forged monoblocks) that it also duplicated the Volk Racing.

Rays appears on the back of the rim spoke, and it is also probably there, though I cannot confirm it. If Mackin gets involved they can surely buy a set and prove this. I am not however.

on second look, I wonder if that Bronze rim is a real Volk, as it almost looks anodized, which a replica surely would not be.

Then I guess you would have to report Rota too... You would HAVE to report WheelDude for selling them.... You would have to report all the people who are buying them as well...

Who cares if they're knockoffs... They look GOOD!

exactly what I imagined you would sound like if you were talking, except you missed a 'd' in the beginning..

If you ask nicely,I might tell you why you are a "clueless noob".
