I think the anthracite would look killer or maybe even painted Santorin Blue? Not sure about that.

Default Cheap foreign labor and low profit margin, perhaps?

Although you are probably implying poor quality.

Default I disagree, many knock-off wheels are excellent...

Do you really think Sportec deserves what they charge for a freaking Mono 10? Tell me Oett wheels are a pinnacle of design and value? LOL. Now clearly a forged wheel or other wheel which enjoys a better production deserves a higher price, but if it's a cast wheel, there's no reason to be charging Oett and Sportec prices other than greed and name-flaunting.

Look at Rota, maker of excellent wheels that knock off Mugen and others. Great wheel, good quality, nuff said.

Now the original poster is looking at some mighty delicate looking wheels, so id wager they are not the most dent-resistant.

Cheers,
Sameer
