I'm not sure how to feel about this. These aren't made or designed by the folks who made the originals? ICB just bought the name (if even that) and farmed them out to a manufacturer?
ICB seems mainly Honda focused so it makes since he would bring them back in a size that fits the newest and "hottest" Honda out.

From what I gathered from our chat the new owner has been in the process of acquiring all of Desmond's IP for quite some time, he finalized everything and used the original designs to design the EVO II. He seemed really passionate about bringing the wheels back the right way by not cutting corners and while they are not made in Russia anymore, thats probably not a bad thing. The originals made in Russia are known for their light weight, but also for cracking. As long as the company building the EVO II, TWS Forged wheels, knows how to properly build a forged monoblock wheel, these should be far superior to the OG Regas.
