Rota is the wheels people usually buy since they replicate most famous wheels. If you want a fairly inexpensive set of aggressive wheels, then RPF1's are the way to go.

Just to argue in the defense of fake wheels- are these pictures of fake wheels for sure?

IMO, Vostok nailed it right here. You need to know what you are going to be doing with the wheels. If you race, buy quality parts.

If I hit a pothole and destroy one of my $120 wheels, Im really not going to give a damn.
