The center cap is not aligned properly with the ///M decal on the top one?

Ghost170 found that.. yes the centers that bolt goes are different, the first pic is round, circle, and the second one is a little curve inside or..concave( i dont know how to say but you may get the idea)... and the first one is the same as the one made in China in link.. and the second one..dont know where's made...

both are replicas, i found that these two slightly different rims and guess it has something to do with quality.

Actually it involves a patent and copyright there has to be some variance/difference

your point being? My point still stands

When a company sets out to make a wheel there has to be a difference in design/aspect/process for the wheel (last I even looked it was 5% difference) and that isn't really anything if you get creative.

I understand... my only concern is if there's quality issue since both of them claim are selling M6 replica, but hard to track where they come from.
