Real vs Fake isn't necessarily Forged vs Cast

There are lots of cast wheels offered by reputable companies that pass any and all safety requirements. However, I'm guessing this video is highlighting a wheel that has been manufactured to look like the real thing while using a less than ideal(cheap) manufacturing process.

I'm curious on the difference between that fake AMG wheel they are testing and a Rota/Varrstoen/XXR wheel. Technically those companies make "fake" wheels. Fake meaning that they took a design and copied it in cast.

I'm with BoostedBB6. I'm not sure what qualifies a wheel to be "fake".
