I think alot of the summit stuff is brand name stuff but cheap kinda like the grocery stores have their own brand. I was looking at something on from summit and it was summit brand and it said who made it. Look down towards the bottom and it may tell you. I have heard the wheel are "el cheapo's"

I bought three 5.0 Summit Blocks a few years back for 300 dollars each. Of Course they were OEM blocks (knew it before we ordered. Buddy of mine bought a set of the Summit Brand roller rockers. They are really Scorpion rockers. If I was on a really tight budget I would feel pretty comfortable using about anything with the Summit brand.

worst case they suck and you ebay them off and buy something else.
like ive posted a billion times most of summit stuff is other companies crap. like summit owns trick flow so a lot of their stuff is trick flow stuff. my summit fuel pump was walbro, ive bought tons of summit stuff.
just call summit reps they'll tell you what some of thier stuff is.
what was said above about grocery stores. proctor and gamble own about 70% of the crap you buy from a grocery store and they make their own competition products and a lot of them are the same. a lot of the time the "store brand" you see is just a proctor and gamble knock off made for the store. most stores dont waste their time making a factory to produce their own stuff but they'll happily pay someone to put their name on someone elses product, hence "store brand"
