Actually these are not technically knockoffs. These are custom 21s whereas i believe the 469s were originally 20s. Must admit they're a bit pricey but he gotta make his end. They look nice though.

For what its worth, I had a company called American Forged quote me for a set of 21" 612m wheels $3200, So I dont think the price is bad at all really, especially for the group buy price he is listing. OEM stock wheels for 469 run almost $4000 which are probably Ronal but likely Cast. If one buys replicas from one of the legit online replica dealers the 469m 20" run about $1600, and I guarantee they are heavy (and not forged wheels).

Once you get a set of forged wheels, it's hard to go back to OEM.
I can't speak for these wheels and their quality..
Though a good quality forged wheel is as strong as OEM, but leaves you with much less unsprung weight, and better handling.
So you can't compare a heavy standard OEM wheel, and a custom forged wheel, when it comes to cost.

richlandforged anything on this?

Can you just share this info with everyone?

No one here cares about the exact name or address of the manufacturing facility, can you just answer 2 simple questions:
1. What country these rims are made at? USA? China? Russia? Germany? Japan?
2. What particular certifications these particular rims got? I don't need the actual certificate picture, just the information.

Because right now it sound like someone found a rim factory in China and trying to sell rims for the price of the brand name once.
Also- any kind of warranty for these?

Anyway it's a gmail address, if that says anything about a business

Not sure why this clown is still around. Is pretty obvious by now he's a scammer.

I wouldn't say its as strong as OEM. I know from experience. They are lighter and their weight to strength ratio may be higher but you're never going to see a third party forged wheel that has the same strength as OEM, especially since you're usually going to be up sizing. I wish this were the case, would have saved me thousands on replacement barrels for forged wheels.

I would actually love to see some style 375 rims in 20", looks so good but don't want to go 21". So far all the knock offs I found on ebay look very poorly made.
