Yes but the offshore cheap labor cast knock-offs Rota wheels have the blessing of a Pelican MD named "Moses" (everybody likes him --I like him) And so if a nice Pelican guy puts forth a good-faith effort, is nice about his opinion, well then, that trumps all concerns of quality and/or physics.

Furthermore, and with the same logic, Perf-Prod's offshore cheap labor cast knock-offs are being sold thru a Pelican competitor. ...Making the quality of Perf Prod's offshore cheap labor cast knock-offs inferior to the Rota's offshore cheap labor cast knock-offs.

Was that too blunt?

Oh, btw, I applaud Wayne for not carrying those Chinese cheap labor cast knock-offs. --Actually, I believe he decided not to carry them when touted as Italian cast knock-offs. In the wake of the Firstone fiasco I surely wouldn't want anything to do with an offshore cast knock-off wheels.

Maybe CRH is righttimes have changed. Perhaps the consumers here now know the risks of offshore cheap labor cast knock-offs. --like they would know not to expect high speed track runs on a snow tire-- that they could use the offshore cheap labor cast knock-offs just fine for posing around town.
