GST...

no worries my bro...as you said, everyone can spot "the trashy one" from a mile away...and the true "classic beauty" will not only be easily recognised, but also stand the test of time.

in real life, there is just NO comparison...."the trash" has fake, botox lips, would not be able to hold up at all

as retrodrive once said, the more fakes the better, they just make the real ones stand out even more

here is a comparison:
NOT even close.... That wheel is a knock-off of the L-Sportline, not Zauber. It has a different shaped spoke and only has 4 bolts instead of 5 between each spoke...

It is definitely a knock of the Lorinser. I have Gettins and have seen the Lorinser in person. NO comparison. The Lorinser looks like complete **** and the knockoff will look worse.

BTW...I think the Lorinser came before the Gettin.

no matter what wheel anyone decides on there is ALWAYS going to be another company with near the same exact thing or one that is juuuuust a bit different. And then its a matter of who is actually "copying" who! Its like that dam "chicken and the egg"

Peter,

Is it really necessary to have such a hideous avatar?

It pains me every time I look at it.

Put a Gettin on there!

That is called my LOGO. ("X" for eXperts).

It is NOT a real wheel.
