If the originals clear....why wouldnt the knockoffs? Arent they exactly the same?

Unfortunately, they aren't exactly the same. They have a similar design, but the original Ford GT wheels have a 6.90" backspacing, while the CT-R replica wheels have a 5.95" backspacing. There could be a slight variance in the actual dimension of the inner wheel as well...

RE: CT-R wheel quality?

I am almost certain that on forums. bradbarnett.net or modularfords. com someone is running these with the brembos.

As far as which look nicer. The knockoffs look great in their own right with the lip and all. But the originals are over the top. They are forged by BBS hence the price.

Vs. the cast CT-R ones.
