Anyway, they are heavier, but with the same strength level. And they are not fake wheels. Rota made OEM wheels also.
Yah that's what I was thinking - some allude to brands like these being dangerous, but I don't buy it. Nor do i see hard evidence. Just because they're inexpensive doesn't mean they'll fall apart. I like cheap wheels, allows me to spend my funds elsewhere regarding track use I'd imagine if they're good for street they'd be good for track - I'd imagine a decent size pothole puts a lot more stress on a wheel than on a smooth track under constant cornering load. All bets are off when you have an off track excursion though.
