Those aren't knockoff wheels. They have lug holes.

When you use a lead/rawhide/brass hammer to remove them instead of a torque wrench, then you have knockoff wheels.

This is a knockoff wheel.

Show me a truly unique wheel and I'll show you an ugly one more than likely. Big name companies copy each other all the time. When someone does the same for 1/4 the price people flip their wigs.

That makes sense , some people will just go nuts about it like its the end of the world when honestly they look the same a lot of the time just other then stickers .

I wasn't referring to you in particular , I get the same thing as you all the time people will ask me "what rotas are they"
