I wonder if they have contacted OCWheelWurx and a few other companies with the replicas? Aren't you glad you sold your ACSers Harry?

All I know is I've been looking ALL over trying to get my hands on an AC rear diffuser and I haven't found one. So if there parts weren't that hard to get a hold of, there might not be that many copies

Knock offs are a major problem

Heh, I'm a fan of knock-offs.

there's a difference between something sold distinctly as a replica and those sold as actual ACS wheels. They are going after the companies that sell ACS products that are actually selling cheap counterfeits.

A lot of what they were throwing in there looked like replicas. Last time I checked, ACS did not make an 18" 3piece Type II. Also, cheap replicas normally weigh more and bend easily.

counterfeits and replicas are the same thing, one is just sold as "ACS Type II" and the other is sold as "three piece replica wheels." Its all in the way its marketed.
