BBS making BLQ reps

[siliconcenturion]

It looks like BBS Germany is introducing the new RX-R wheel, which is a blatant ripoff of the Rotiform BLQ:

And of course, the BLQ is actually an homage (edit: sarcasm) to the LP560-4 wheel:

BBS is making a replica of a replica? Discuss.

BBS is ripping off Rotiform
Rotiform is paying homage to the LP560

... Why isnt Rotiform ripping off the LP560s? Am I missing something?

Rotiform ripped of Lambo just as much as BBS. For all we know, BBS made the wheels for the Lambo. They are an OEM supplier to Lamborghini.

Not sure if serious?

Rotiform is a replica company, therefor their "design" cannot be ripped off, as it isn't their design. Same thing I said in the EJ new wheels thread.

Sensationalist title is stupid and inaccurate.

BBS probably made the Lambo wheels in the first place, so you fail on multiple levels

sarcasm :wink:
The Lambo wheels are probably made by BBS for all we know. BBS originally made the CH wheel for the 360 Challenge as OEM before introducing to the wider market soon after.

I def don't consider Rotiform a Rep only company, they do have many unique style. Its also pretty hard to consider unique 3 piece wheels as "reps". They have also pretty much pioneered the concave movement in the VW/Audi world.

They started as a rep company and has grown into something more. I would definitely not put them in the same category as Miro, etc. Don't get me wrong, I like Rotiform and a lot of the wheels they have made, but attributing a design to someone who copied it is annoying.

I agree with this. They really blew up this last year or two..

My ex-girlfriend's tits are reps. Doesn't mean I didn't like them. Pretty durable, too.

Who makes the stock wheels for the LP560?
