Judging by the fact that its got a rolled lip, its a safe assumption that they're not genuine. (original Regamasters typically have vertical lips)

As for that sticker, its a verification sticker, stating that the wheel passes certain wheel safety regulations and that it is registered with the VIA. VIA is a registered trademark of the Japan Vehicle Inspection Association.

Many Rota's have these stamps/stickers, because they distribute in Japan from their base of operation in the Philippines. So, even though they are knock-off's, they do pass some regiment of regulation.
