Rota specs fishy. knockoff?

Im looking to buy a set of Rota Grid 17x9 +42

I see alot of these wheels for sale in lots of different sizes and offsets. And from many different retailers. However when I reference them back to the "wheel catalog" on the Rota website a lot of them dont match up.

Does anybody know if rota does not update their catalog and that is just plain old data or am I looking at knockoffs of a wheel that is already a knockoff?

Thanks

You are wondering if you at looking at Rota knockoffs? hahaha sorry but that is funny considering Rota is a knockoff brand.

When in question, cross reference WheelDude's website.

I like wheeldude's site because its really easy to use and seems the most legit. Their prices are a bit higher but maybe its worth it if you say they are for real.

Edit: The picture is becoming clear now. Wheeldude doesn't offer the same numbers I was getting elsewhere. Way to make my search harder! lol good to know though.

I was ok with getting a knockoff. Not ok with getting a knockoff a knockoff. Thanks for the info

Oh, I meant if you were curious if a current spec was offered. Wheeldude is the largest NA distributor of Rotas and I believe has some family connections to the factory.
