Default Sport Technic is a Japanese company. Sportec is German. Rival Motorsport is the US distributor.
Diff. mfg processes and different alloys as well IIRC.

That said, they still make good looking wheels.

love the look of sportec, but they're expensive and for the money they're pretty heavy (~30lbs iirc)
