It looks like a combination of both...



I assume the knock off's are just there to look cool? :shruggy:


The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

It looks like the wheel bolts to an adapter that converts it to a knock off. (?)

I noticed that too, notice all the felt tip marker notes on the knock-off wings indicating correct tightening direction :o

They are real knock offs.   What appears to some to be lug nuts is parts of the wheel assembly.   The knock off is what holds the wheel to the car.   You will see million dollar D-Types like the one below with a similar wheel and hub setup, and they sure don't use lug nuts.
