Honestly what bothers me way more are companies that rebrand the China knock offs then charge a premium for them. Such as "Slingshot Racing" and PSR, both of whom are race sponsors. That's ripping off the company who made the OE *and* the customer. Not cool.

Was going to ask about some of the SSR stuff as it looked an awful lot like the chinese stuff on ebay but with SSR etched into it! Especially the billet drive hub as an interest!

Wonder if it's SSR stuff that they had manufactured in China and then got ripped off...or the other way around? Pretty sad if the other way around...and to be expected if they were having their stuff made in China to begin with.

A local machinist friend has a story of one of his friends sending parts off to be manufactured in China...he said that knock-offs were available before he even got his first shipment!

Unless he had an "enforceable" contract prohibiting that, and maintaining design rights, some would say he should not have been surprised.

No argument here, or from the guy telling me the story. It's just an example of what happens.
