They are not fake.
I have a set of Zipp 303 coming from Team Saxo Bank, which has the same "Zipp" logo on the rim. My rim is clamped to original Zipp hubs.
Your rim is probably about 2 "generations" old.

See all my bike h e r e
As noted above it's a little older rim. Genuine Zipp prbably 2008 - 2009.

Looks to be a 2009; I've never seen a fake dimpled rim (there were some handlebars a few years ago, one of which actually failed and resulted in an attempted lawsuit).
The colors on the world champ stripes look a bit off (at the top) but that could be just the photo. The Z logo was not molded in for this rim generation so that is correct.
As someone noted the spokes were not offered in black (directly from us) and the spoke angle looks pretty poor on one spoke, but everything I'm seeing in the laminate appears correct. The dimples were of a different pattern back then (2 rim generations prior to current), hence they are a bit more subtle than the other image posted by SWijland.
Hope that helps.
