I agree at times its used a bit loosely, but for the sake of argument we're talking about more/less exact replicas of TE37's, VX-SS and the like.
ive enever had the real deal next to a rep or knock off but ive heard the same thing---the wieght is much heavier in the rep's.
My question is what is considered a rep?
Anytime i see someone with a set of rims that doesnt cost an arm and a leg or a set that isnt a top name brand people insinuate that it is a rep or a knock off.
I think the term is used a bit too loosely imo.

always thought varrstoen wheels were decent, but when outlaw0209 mounted his on, he really pulled them off, they really grew on me ever since and hearing all the positive things about them i'm keeping them in the back in my mind too
if there are companies that are directly ripping off another brands style and trying to copy them I am against that
on a side note are xxr's a rip off of any company?
because they get called rep's and knock offs all the time but I dont know what brand they are copying.
I honestly could care less if someone buys a real or repo wheel. Trust me, I've owned my fair share of ASA's, Rota's and the like. Especially when I owned a Civic. Putting a $3000 set of wheels on a $900 car is just silly.
These days I typically buy used authentic wheels though.
I'm curious how many people have ever had a real-deal forged 3 piece and then a typical repo next to each other. Just the shear weight difference is quite astounding.

By the way, my experience with the wheels is that I can't complain. I track my car once a month and the wheels hold up fine. I've hit pot holes and bumps REALLY hard and the wheels hold up fine. Don't drive like an idiot and hit your wheels on a curb and the wheels will probably hold up a life time.
I just can't justify paying 3g's for one piece wheels. Only time I would cough up the cash is if it were 3 piece wheels with REALLY low offsets, like for a wide body. These wheels are fine for the average enthusiast.

The Varrstoens look nice, but do they have weight figures for them anywhere?
