Actually these are made by a company called Rodia, which makes some of the Bell helmets.

Has anyone else ordered one of these helmets? I got mine yesterday, and was expecting a Bell helmet. It turns out to be a Rhodia, whatever the hell that is!
I just called Bell about this. They said Rodia makes some of the Bell helmets, and they are basically the same. Same shell, different liner and vents. I could either exchange the Rodia and spend $20 more for the Bell SC, or keep the Rodia and get a $10 credit. Guess what choice I made?
How much does it weigh?? Hows the quality?? Im seriousely considering one of these as a cheap, somewhat nice autocross helmet, untill I have the cash/need for a better one.
It's fairly light (don't know exactly how much it weighs) and well padded. 2 small round vents on the back side. For the money and what it will be used for, it's hard to go wrong IMHO.

If it says SNELL M00 or SA00 on the inside, then sure, buy it. I don't know if I'd be buying a 1995 rated one now.... in a lot of regions, they'll expire on Oct 1 when the 05s come out.
