£600 forge, £400 for THS which is considered better

i've done extensive testing on both, and in terms of thermal efficiency found there to be negligible difference between the two.

I'm sure wheel companys have a different approach to copying as you cant have a patant on a useable which can be made in variable amounts such like the first wheel ever made would not have a patant against it otherwise we will still be rolling around on wooden wheels. BBS replicas etc could even be made by a sister company or even have written consent to be made however theres always differences in some form or another.

I understand this bloke is not making exact copys and branding forge on them this is true. All i was getting at is by making EXACT copys can be seen as stealing a idea which in simple terms is. He has now said there not so i have no reason not to believe him once again i wish the people involved success  :smiley:

Fair play, I haven't done testing on either, was just going by what I thought was the general consensus, always good to hear valid results :smiley:
