      the strength of fake/knockoff wheels is usually similar but at a higher weight and thickness. BUT they will likely be more prone to bending/cracking with impacts.

    Fun fact: Checking for "Made in XYZ" stamps is a good way to figure out if your product is counterfeit or not for weird legal reasons. Nardi is an Italian company, so is Sparco. Nardi wheel had a proper stamp while Sparco harnesses said American made.

You can even give them a message or call to there website or store info and ask if its there listing and shore up any unknown.

Now that there's serious competition from the Germans and the Koreans I can't see why you'd buy one unless it was an emotional decision... The Koreans have the best manufacturing processing in the world, take it from the people who know. My old man was the global director for Stahl Chemicals leather and automotive finishing division and had a lot to do with helping Hyundai set up Genesis. He always said nobody is better at quality control than the Hyundai group, they had never made their own leathers in house and he said they had it absolutely nailed within two years and for an outfit that size that's unbelievable. He reckoned they make the best leather products on the planet now and the fit and finish is every bit as good as the best of the Germans or the British.

    On the fake Sparco racing harness, another tell could be that the threaded anchors look like they’re cast and unfinished (meaning there was not a post process conducted, like machining, to improve the condition of the part from the imperfections of the casting process). Cast components tend to have brittle failure modes and are not great when loaded in tension (i.e., the force of the belt against the anchor when the car crashes).

    It'd be cool to see a direct Comparison of the real vs fake products, not just either fake or real, and an indepth assessment to help people have an idea of what they're looking for (the brake discs for example).

    8:25 If you look closely at the ring screw it's VERY obvious it's cheap. Blue-ish cast texture alloy are always cheap and this alloy should never be use on items for safety or support/hold something heavy.

    I personally chose Ford and Chevrolet products over every other car companies here in US. Car technology is growing everyday where the manufacturers tend to feed the public with there physical features and material needs while great number of billionaires invest in the company and make generational wealth within a short period through buying of huge stocks

      You are very correct! Consistently investing in high quality dividend paying REITs, Tech and Car companies over the long term is a relatively easy strategy to create generational wealth.
