the biggest difference is the weight.
the "italian" knock offs are a few (4ish) lbs more than the originals.
the size won't be an issue as long as you buy the correct size/offset.
i am beginning to think this "italian" thing is just an old urban legend. i have spoken with several people that claimed these rims are italian but have no proof of any certifications or approvals or other authentication as to what factory they are made in. now i've see some vendors are claiming these "italian" knock offs are higher quality than other knock offs. i am very skeptical of these claims considering the wide variety of pricing i've seen in "italian" rim prices.
