Uh...

1. "Fake" is irrelevant (more to the point, the supposed "originality" of the design is irrelevant). What theoretically matters is adhereance to a specific safety standard.

I can get behind that.

2. The likekihood that using "fake" or "real" wheels that adhere to this standard will "Save a life" is entirely speculative -- no data was provided on the correspondance between failing to meet that standard and auto accidents let alone fatal ones.

It's an over-the-top, dire warning that is clearly designed to instill fear in a consumer.

That I can't get behind.

So, yeah. Maybe I should have said "shameless" rather than "shameful".

Forgive me.
