Guys/Gals,
I just came across this article on the Website for ALT Wheels, which I am assuming is the parent company of Miro? Not sure. But they allegedly report one of our vendors on this site is not selling Miro Wheels to their customers, but are telling hte customers they are Miro. I am not taking sides on this. I came across the below article and figured I would share with fellow members as replicas are are cheaper alternative to OEM wheels. Hopefully the vendor in question can clear this up for us. Let's keep an open mind to this issue.

I apologize if this is a repost or common knowledge. Thank you for the heads up. I am assuming all has been straightened out by now.

'Authentic' MiRo designs..... You mean the authentic 167 designs that they 'inspired' from BMW....?
All of the above is just my observation and no harm meant to any parties so no need to blast me for these comments. LOL

Big Mike,
I think you are misunderstanding their claim. It is nt the fact that they are selling "Reps", it's the fact they are calling them Miro Reps when in fact Miro did not design nor create those wheels. As you can imagine, many companies are producing reps. Miro, Moven etc. I guess their beef is with the vendor saying these a re Miro Reps when in fact they are not.
Again, I am just bringing this to everyone's attention as I read it yesteday on their site. These are alleged allegations and I have no side in this matter. For all I know, this may have been resolved.

Hey Guys,
Just wanted to clarify. Miro has had this up on their website for quite sometime now and it's quite comical really. We still carry Authentic Miro Wheels and have for the past several years. Anyone local can stop on by our showroom to see our display units as well as the Miro boxes in the back
Here is a full explanation for more info:

Thats the caveat with buying replica wheels, you never know FOR CERTAIN who they're made by. From what I've heard/seen from JLevi customer's, its a stand-up company that sells genuine products. I'm sure they know better than to pull one over on our forum members!
