Default What are Replica Wheels?

I was looking on Passwordjdm.com yesterday and they have a bunch of wheels, but they say theyre "Replica Wheels". What does this mean? I've tried googling but i havnt found anything explaining it.

Replica wheels are pretty much just a wheel design that was copied from a different manufacturer (usually the term is applied to replicas of OEM wheels, like civic type-r wheels and whatnot). For example, Rota's Grid wheel is a replica of Mackin Industry's Volk TE37.


Basically "replica" is the polite version of "knockoff"
