Depending on coupons or sale these are $62-72 for a set. I asked if they were painted or anodized and they said anno. Only a few reviews so far.

They look great, I just imagine people asking me about them then having to awkwardly explain that they're Chinese ripoffs and not 5devs
-
They do look nice, i enjoy oogling over polished parts. They're pretty heavy though even with the hollowed mid-sections but look cool. They seem to be the best 5DEV lookalikes so far imo

The Evosids are 585g for the 170mm (only size) and the 5Devs are 610g for the 165mm. Both without chainring.
A few others for comparison:
Rotor Kapic alloy crankset - 545g - with chainring.
Descendant Carbon Crankset - 555g - with chainring
-
when they come out with shorter options, I'm probably in

Just bought it. Couldn't wait for shorter options.

What color? I'd love to see pics when you get them

I was torn on the titanium vs the black. Ended up getting the black. Will take photos when I get it.

Just a heads up. Don’t know if this applies to all vendors selling this but this guys shows it’s very bad. In another forum a guy bought one and the spindle nut continuously loosens.

The ones on sale now are DUB, maybe wait for the reviews?

These are the shitty looking counterfeits
The Evosid ones actually look high quality

Arrived to my door in 4 days. That was quick. First impressions - looks well made. Preload is aluminum which i like. Doesn't come with any spacers. Got to order some before I can install.
Additional thoughts. All edges are beveled, no sharp corners. Everything is machined to a nice degree and the finish is spot on. Mine weighed in at 574.5 grams minus the 3 bolts. Really happy with this purchase. Haven't ridden on it yet so no thoughts on functional use at the moment.
