The market is awash with imitations from China in everything, even engine oils. Needless to say, rims are a major imitation item. Some legitimate dealers even stock both real and imitation. In fact, there was a report on this in today's NST.The best bet is to go to the website of the manufacturer, track down the local distributor and deal from there. Also check what the manufacturer's recommended price is, and if you find the same product offered at anything more than 25% below that, be very suspicious. BTW, eBay is known to be rife with imitations too.Best to go by the maxim: If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. You don't want to be belting along at +160kmh on backyard rims. Pay a decent price for a well made product and have peace of mind.</blockquote>
