I've always liked the brand but it seems they've fallen upon hard times, and are now downsizing and trimming a little fat to hopefully stay afloat.
All companies go through hard-times and theres multiple connections between many other companies. Rays are still a strong company with support from many large companies much more than RO_JA!
But like you said, a company is company and business is business. But its fact RO_JA does not own Gram lights nor any part of RAYS. RO_JA is Rays customers. Why would rays NOT take RO_JA as a customer? and sure, why wouldn't RO_JA take advantage of this and twists some words.
My Rays connection is not a friends friend but an actual friend.. I have the most liable source than anything anyone has posted yet. It's all "I heard this i head that". In the end, RO_JA pays the last penny to RAYS whether you like it or not. Just to clear it up, Rays does not make all of RO_JA's wheels. Just some of the similar styles of Gram Light Series.
