the IMITATION wheel thread

Please post below pictures of an imitation wheel and what it's trying to copy. hopefully this will help people find imitations of the more expensive wheels we all want but can't afford.

Imitation top: Konig Imagines
Real below: Work Rezax II

come on people. i know there's LOTS more.. from the obvious to the obscure.
