LOOK695 Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 The most obvious sign are that Zipp rims have dimples like a golf ballMy statement of dimples was wrong and I appologise as you do get dimpled wheels/rims from our good chinese friends. Thanks to a fellow hubber who pointed this out to me. Here are some pics of the offending rim. Spot the differences

LOOK695 Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 And according to zipp website the 404 has a rim depth of 58mmC/yong sell 58mm as well
LOOK695 Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Saw this yes!!I think that zipp should add something like a "watermark" unto their rims so that joe public can identify the genuine from the fake
