Message	on high end wheels feel when somebody else comes and "borrows" the design and sells them at bargain basement prices. Next thing you know everyone and their sister has them and the prestige goes down the shitter. I don't really want this to happen with the B&B quad oval design. I'm absolutely not questioning the quality of Greg's product. I'm sure the exhausts are top notch. I'd just like to make a humble request to Greg to not copy the B&B oval style exactly. When I chose the B&B quad oval, I got it for the exclusivity as much as anything. I implore you, don't send it the way of Konigs and Wings West kits!!!!
