The most obvious sign are that Zipp rims have dimples like a golf ball

My 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

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 :thumbup:
