Not only that but many of these "real" wheel manufactures license their designs out to other companies.

ASA for example produces BBS wheel designs under license.

It's interesting to me that you don't think the difference extends to real vs. fake bumpers...

He has a point, even though I'm more inclined to buy a replica bumper or lip because of how much of a beating they take. The fitment on some of them is fairly good.
