That's what happens when you mail a wheel to a third wheel nation to get knocked off. Guy reproducing it has no idea what "949racing", "6ul" or "JWL" mean so he leaves all the stamps there.

I meant they sent one of your wheels to a 3rd world supplier to copy and the guy building the tool had no idea what those stamps meant so he/she "left them there." I didn't mean to imply they were using your tooling.

Fake Rolex's say "Rolex". There are also "Roler" watches that are virtually identical.

They say that imitation is the sincerest for of flattery.
Honestly, Emilio, you haven't really made it until someone has created a cheap knock-off of your product. Think of all of the various "Greddy" products available on eBay. Or of the "Oakley" sunglasses and "Prada" handbags that you can buy for $10 off the sidewalk here in Manhattan.
I'm impressed.

Probably not. The font on the copies is generic machine font. Ours a 3D logo with a unique font design. They copied the characters only. I'm sure the company that made or commissioned these specifically wanted to use our brand name to fool the public into thinking they were made by us. Our brand is just as valuable as the design at this point.

If it wasnt for 949 and 6UL being on them I would never guess that they had anything to do with 6UL in my opinion they look like an inspired 6UL wheel but I can see major differences in shape and angles. That being said if I could get them and 380 for 4. Id buy them.

Ha firstly stfu don't talk to me like that. Secondly there are plenty of knock off wheels that are out there that don't explode and perfectly fine for use. I support the venders plenty. A lot venders over price parts errgghmm cough rev 9. I'm interested in seeing an exploding wheel. Please post a link sounds awesome.
