Super GT Store

Has anyone used this store before. Prices seem really good but it is Hong Kong, maybe knock-offs?

I just came back from HK a week ago and visited that store numerous times. They don't have a very big inventory at the retail location but from what I saw prices aren't that much different from stuff sold online here.

$1111.00 US compared to $1750 us is a big difference.

This is for Gias Stradia Low Max, Carbon fiber.

At those prices, I don't see how these parts aren't either knock-offs or factory rejects.

With my expeience in the asian market ecspecially Hong Kong, it's a knock off.

But knock off's look pretty good sometimes and can last. So its up to you if you want to tell people where you got it and for how much.

Are they reputable or do you think some of their stuff are knock offs?

I would think that Knock Offs would be way cheaper, I mean 60-75% cheaper.

There are different levels of knock-offs. There are the cheap knock-offs, like Ebay stuff, there are midlevel knock-offs (better than the cheapies, but still crap), then there are the "good" knock-offs which are usually more expensive and are somewhat better quality (like sometimes near out the back of the factory quality).

For instance, watches. There's the cheap knock off (Folex, for example), then there's the midlevel knock-off which says Rolex but still has cheap workings, then there's the "good" knock-off which would fool a Rolex dealer until they took the back off.

I still wouldn't trust them.

LoL @ this thread, just because they have a lower price doesnt mean they sell knock offs.


to the OP, Super GT sells authentic Bride seats.
