Default are these rims knockoffs?

hi. i am looking for a set of 20" wheels but the price is very high and they are between 700-1000$. i am looking to spend more like 500$ on a wheel. i have came up with a few wheels that i like and i would like to know if they are knockoffs. pls respond. here they are.

1)ADR MONELLO... chrome(595$)...a few posts down someone said that they are knockoffs already, so are all ADR rims knockoffs?
2)ADR DEEJAY... chrome(500$)...this is also ADR brand so im not sure if they are knockoffs. is ADR a good company?
3)giovanna corsica...chrome(630$)...similar to the adr monello but cost a little more for chrome
4)katana belajio...chrome(500$)...dont know too much about this wheel

what do u guys think? do you guys have any suggestions? heres the link...http://www.wheelsboutique.com/result...16&Submit.y=10

p.h.,

most of the adr and katana are knock-offs..but if you like the design, then it is another matter. personally, i would save a few hundreds for and get names like work, weds, and etc..20s chrome from japan do cost from ~$650 and up..keep in mind the price includes air shipping from japan..

All knock-offs...

The Giovanna Corsica is a knock-off of the AME Modelart Excellent


The ADR Monello is a knock-off of the Altstadt Legart


The ADR Deejay is a knock-off of the Dzz Vincci


The Katana Belajio is knock-off of the AME Modelart Excellent (like the Corsica)

Here's a proud owner of the Katana Belajio...I guess if you want to compare your car to this guys, get the Katana's...

Like gs4will said, just save up some more dough and get something decent for your Lexus. It's not a Dodge Neon afterall...
