The complaints about XXR aren't that they make "fake" wheels but that many of their designs are replicas of other brands. For example, the XXR 527 is a replica of the WedsSport TC105N.
A "fake" wheel is a wheel that tries to pass itself off as the original and usually includes the markings found on the original, XXRs wheels have their own markings so you can easily tell them apart from the original so I would never accuse XXR of making "fakes" but they do make many replicas and that doesn't sit well with some people. I can't throw stones about this though, because I roll on replicas too.
The other reason XXR has a poor reputation is because they had a high number of catastrophic failures early on. Google xxr broken wheels and you'll find plenty of images and discussion. They seemed to have either discontinued or updated the affected designs because I can't find anything posted more recently then 2012 that wasn't a result of something that could have broken pretty much any wheel.
Those are my 2c on the matter anyway.
