What he said^^^.

It's not that another legitimate wheel manufacturer copied the STYLE while ensuring structural integrity and meeting basic strength/durability standards.

They are RIGHTLY raising the alarm about counterfeit wheels which most likely don't have any analysis or testing behind them, and could be weak-as-hell as-cast non-heat-treated scrap-grade aluminum.

Big difference!

At least Rota isn't selling wheels that are branded with other manufacturers name. From what I read, Rota is warning folks about fake Rota wheels that are not produced by them. Am I misunderstanding this completely?

Ive used rotas for years and never had problems. There style maybe knock off but they make a good quality part. Maybe not top top of the line but still usuable with out having to worry

ROTA is the only company guilty of creating "knockoffs"? I don't think so...
