Setting the PArkwood up for Zwift and commuting, so as i've sold my Fox Boost forks, thought i may go for some rigid forks for it as a hybrid/commuter thing instead ?

What's your thoughts on the above Chinese jobbies ?

or this?

Why not this one, looks exactly the same but has AIRWOLF on it?

I wouldn't use either, but some would. The debate's been had before on all that.

I was all for chinese forks and frames until I got shown the results of a CT scan of one which had been given to the National Composites Centre after a failure. It was appaling in so many ways.

OK then, apart from very few high-end manufacturers like Enve and Lauf - I'd defy you to find a composite fork manufacturer not from Taiwan or China.
