Updated on refund.. they gave me a store credit to Alibaba instead of a refund on my credit card. Beware of this seller! Trying to dispute this but I don’t tho I can reverse it.

I wanted to update that the refund process was ok. I sent it back in a prepaid label to Alibaba USA warehouse and once it arrived, they refunded the money.

If I knew these were counterfeit, I would not have bought them. I thought for their posts that they bought the molds from Hella. They could have got a hold of the hella hoops and copied them. So I would say that if you are going to buy them, be aware of that fact.

Here is a pick with the copy hella hoops on my 5.5x14 medium maple sq2.

I received my pair today. I will follow up with additional comments but here is the verdict, They are almost exact copies of the Hella hoops made in Germany. It seems though that the copy is double chrome plated and the real one is triple chrome plated.
