Nothing fancy about genuines, they still weigh a tonne!I think this has been discussed before. The copies are not 'just as good'. Genuine wheels are made to a standard. They are actually a quality wheel. The fakes are not. My bro had aftermarket BA MKII GT-P 19's (the machine faced ones), and the spokes weren't even all the same thickness FFS.

I have copies. Can't tell from the outside but you can clearly see they arent genuine when they are off the car.

The genuine ones were a nightmare to match. Never again.

My bro had aftermarket BA MKII GT-P 19's (the machine faced ones), and the spokes weren't even all the same thickness FFS.The new dark AGENTS ( and they are called AGENT because FPV wheels are dark ARGENTS. Its called copyright) have a load rating of 850kg and the spoke sections are a lot thicker. So I would say the latest copies are in fact NOW better than the originals. They can also be purchased in a 9.5 rear.
