Default Kobe wheels

Anyone ever heard of, or own this brand before? In the about section it states:
"Kobe creates innovative and original designs unlike most copy brands."
Does that mean these wheels are copy cats off of some other manufacturer out there? I just don't wanna get stuck with some wheels that are llike those generic tennis shoes mom would try and stick you with back in the day when you went school shopping.

With that aside, what do you think of these wheels? The price is right...

I have'nt heard of them, but they say that they "create innovative and original designs"....those are very similar to Konig Unknowns. They just kept the front/"silver" spokes solid instead of them split towards the end. Hardly creative/innovative in my book. Plus I looked at their other wheels and it looks like the same ol' same ol'....

Thank you. They look exactly like the Konig wheels, and from what I have gathered online, Konig wheels are a pretty big brand. It's so amazing how things get copied nowadays. Thank you for putting me straight on these. I will probably spend the extra cash to get the real deal when it's wheel time. Right now I am going to get some springs, drop the ride, and roll on my stock wheels during the winter season here in Michigan. We have potholes so big here, you wouldn't believe. Thanks man!

Some of those wheels from Kobe look good to me cuz I am a black wheel guy. In fact, if those K-5s (all gloss black) came in 18s I would replace my current wheels. The Scion all black wheels for the xD look nice but not for 2k.
