ever notice as soon as someone comes out with a Knockoff wheel everyone and there mom gets it? soon everyone will be rocking these ugly assMR5 wannabe wheels that are nowhere near what they should look like as far as the orginals.

personally i think they look like ***. to many bolt holes, and flares are all wrong.

and, how do you know they weren't trying to make an original design? just cause it LOOKS like an MR5 does it mean it's a knock off?

i do agree about the 8 bolt pattern. but if it had 4, it wouldn't look that bad..

oh, btw, Mugen doesn't make wheels.

they put all the holes there so it would fit more than 1 type of hub.
because its a knock off.

Nothing that a grinder and some bondo won't fix

Now, If they could copy the M7's with 4 holes only, yummy!
BTW here are the originals on my car

Why did they make knock off of an ugly rim and made it uglier?

Default Re: Tenzo Cant get their knock offs right...... (eraser)

the reason why tenzo made it look that way is because if they were to make an exact copy of it, then it would constitute a copyright infringment(sp?)....they needed to change a couple of things like the lug holes and the flares...all knockoff companies do this just so that they can stay in the game....hth


btw: those tenzo copies look like ***

people have different tastes but i think the mugen MR5's look really nice IMO!

Sorry, you can't copyright a wheel, any more than you can copyright a fender. You can only copyright intellectual property like books, music, movies, etc. They added the extra holes to make the wheels universal, instead of having two different models which costs more.
