Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Dazz just slap on the Lowenhart Logo and charge more for the same wheel?

Charge more than what? HART owns Dazz, I think.

Okay, let me get this straight......

Work owns Bersaglio

Dazz Imports Bersaglio and changes the name to Lowenhart

Dazz then knocks off its own imports with Maido ?

"Dazz then knocks off its own imports with Maido "

Dazz imports wheels from Japan and slapps the Lowenhart name on them....then charges more. You are basically paying for the Lowenhart name.

Oh yeah, BTW, I have Lowenharts

right right, but i'd pay more for a bersaglio cap!!

i'll be asking gs4will to get me some bersaglio caps. they should've just left the rim as it was and sold it.

Not really. If they are the same wheel made by the same company just different names how is it a knock off? It's just like Toyota and Lexus. One company makes them and just changes the name. Trust me that Hart knows the name is being changed once it reaches U.S. shores. It's buisness, and look how it has worked.

Oh yeah Lowenhart by far is not a POS wheel.
