People who buy BBS wheels would never consider a replica. And people who buy replicas do so because the real thing is too expensive. They are two separate consumer demographics, which means BBS isn't losing customers to replica wheel brands because the people buying those wheels have already ruled out BBS as being too expensive and would never have been customers of theirs anyway.


agreed



Also i remember back in 2008 when i went to SEMA i talked with a rep and he basically said that most of there business doesn't come from the USA in the first place.

dont know if thats true
