never seen a knock off of them. i remember when they first came out selling rims, they had some glow in the dark ones and i was the first to buy them.. although it wasnt that bright unless you put a high candle power light on them. heavy rims tho..

Well no. My boss here at advance performance is part owner of the nzo wheel line. The funny thing is that in the rim business there really is no knock offs anymore because apparently you cant patten (I know i spelled that wrong) rim designs ( spreewell was the first to come out with the spinneres and tried and the goverment denied the petition) so It becomes a question of quality of built. We havent had a problem with rims falling appart or the coating chipping off so the quality is there. If you look at the WORK wheels and the Volks they are almost identical in styles, but both are almost equally as expensive and they are both highly respected companies in japan so who is knocking off who? Sorry about the long post and yes the wheels you have in your sig are the nzo manta.
