They're knockoffs, I would expect them to be like almost every other knockoff out there

True they are knock offs but one of the best out there. Monoblock wheels w/chrome lips to give visual of multipeice wheels. Nothing beats true rims Racing Hart, Axis, Rota, etc. but if you were to get knockoffs r-1's would be the ones to get.

Ummmm, Rotas aren't real. They're just as knocked off as the rest of them. Only difference is Rota has been doing it for long enough that people know they can take a pounding. Compare it to the original, theres still no contest. Its easy, even for a semi-trained eye to tell the difference between the one thats $450 per rim and the one thats $450 per set.
And last time I checked, chroming a lip to make it seem multipiece does NOT determine what makes it a good wheel. Usually you look at strength numbers, the type of alloy used, the weight of them, finish quality, test results from development etc..... and figure out what makes a good wheel.
