I think the best knockoffs are Rota :thinking:

I can think of a few "knockoff" brands that are way better than ADR/RS Limited

ADR's are iffy when it comes to quality. i had RS Limited wheels in 17 inch and was afraid everytime i ran over a bump or something. if you want mesh style rims like that but dont have a lot of money to spend, try looking into HP Racing Hurricane's

ADR = garbage, i've seen enough of them split in half that i wouldn't even take them if they were given to me for free.

if you want strong and cheap, go rota.

For the price you pay they are quite nice.

I've had them for over 2 years now and granted I've curbed check them, driving cross country, and be on some of the worse roads, they have held up.:thumbup:

ADR is better then the other no name brands.

They are terrible. Some are not DOT certified from what I hear, and I have seen tons of cases where the spokes broke off from the center hub....this is not a good thing. I wouldn't trust them.

Regardless of the fact that a bunch of people have had them break, they're too heavy.

Skip em.
