Default Rim question, do you know the difference?

Is it just me or are these basically the same rim?

ADR GT-Sport:


And then there is the

ICW GT-Sport:


Are these actually different rims or the same rim distributed by different companies?

Most likely the same rim.

Neither ADR nor ICW is really known for their original designs. From what I can tell they're both distributors that sell rims from a few assorted nameless manufacturers.

I am sure you are right, but I can't afford 2g's on rims, especially without tires. I can pick up a set of these for about $4-500 shipped. Considering I will only be on them for 6 months out of a year, I am sure they will do just fine. I do appreciate the input though.

It's kinda hard to tell. It might just be the angle and lighting... but the front surface of the spokes in the first pic look like they are concaved more than the others.

Maybe.. maybe not... either way they are pretty damn close.
