Yes....thinking of voting LibDem in the next elections!

Wow I didn't know that

Mine were just stamped with the weight rating RRS gone
Audi SQ5...Gone Audi Q7 S-Line 240 3.0TDI Gone
Audi A6 Allroad Sport 270 3.0TDI

Also another yes they do here, i pointed jordan in the direction of some Olympus alloys that were advertised as replica's with overfinch stamped across the face.

No point making fake Nike trainers without the name printed on them, same goes for wheels unfortunately.

They even do fake Overfinch boxes!

So SOME replicas can be dangerous because they are made cheaply.
I've still heard no evidence to suggest that these cheap wheels are of a sub standard quality compared to oem ones. Until I've seen material analysis reports to back that up I'm going to go on the assumption that if they have the correct load rating then they are good to use.

This thread is just a load of crap with no facts to back up the statement.

As for the nugget saying team dynamics alloys are crap Lmfao. You sound like the idiot down the pub that thinks he knows about cars with stupid statements like that.

safety aside, replicas (read COPIES) are for loosers......

The local reputable wheel and tyre dealer round hear sells the copied overfinch wheels as well as lots of other copied wheels such as mercedes and vw and they are hanging on the shelf in there showroom and it's all perfectly legit , surely for them to be sold and fitted by them the uk they must have to legally meet standards of safety before they are passed to be sold in this country?? They've been doing it for years so why haven't they been sued and closed for selling wheels that aren't fit for purpose and supposedly buckle at the sight of a pothole. U canit compare buying copied wheels to buying copied watches or handbags as u can't legally buy fake watches/bags over here So Obviously the quality standard will be different in them cases Java black 2006

bet he isnt selling copied khan wheels ?

a copy is a copy, just coz he hasnt been caught dosnt mean its right.

Pass on their details to jordan @ Overfinch and they won't be selling Overfinch copies for much longer How can it be legit Bmw once took a company to court a while ago for doing the same and won, big time. I'm sure we have copyright laws in this country Don't Overfinch or Kahn have a patent on their designs

Not sure if they sell the Kahn ones I've never looked, but they do overfinch,rangerover,,BMW,vw and even Porsche and aswel as other aftermarket rims it's a totally liget shop and don't think it's a case of them not being caught yet as it all seems above board there's even brochures with them in, the two top stores round here do them, if you look on net at wheel stores in uk youl find copied wheels blatantly for sale from stores so how could they do that if these wernt up too scratch?! They simply wouldnt get away with it these wheels have to meet safety standards to be sold here , Fair enough buying wheels from china etc are risky as they're trading standards are completely different but over here is different Java black 2006

Ady I'm not guna mention any names but if you look at decent UK wheel suppliers online youl come across replica wheels for sale legally , I wonder if they get away with it because they don't state overfinch on the wheel and there are slight differences on the rims like larger sized centre caps etc, overfinch etc don't make they're wheels so maybe the real manufacturers sell the patents to other companies or something? Java black 2006
