The market that the big names shoot for is a higher level/target than what rota can make. So the people buying knockoffs are not really hurting anyone.

Wheels are wheels, they are worth the same regardless of what car they are on. Cars depreciate, wheels depreciate. People who are smart, will sell their wheels separately.

agreed

but would you pay $1000 more for a used yaris simply because it had curbed Volks on it instead of curbed Rotas for $1000 cheaper total cost?
