proof is in the weight - knock-offs tend to be a lot heavier.

Anyone sees a long term problem with that trend?

Can you get me set of those Hamann center caps in black ?

They didn't copy the craftsmanship, just the design.
Production craftsmanship is based using the exact right materials that meet all of the requirements of the engineering design; following the exact manufacturing processes to produce a product that is guaranteed to meet all of the engineering specifications; and having verifiable monitoring to ensure that every unit built meets all of the design parameters.
Those are great looking knockoff's and I am not saying that they are not built well, but there is no real craftsmanship.

Why can't they offer just a set of center caps ? They must be making them somewhere ?
