Ray Ban Aviators vs. knockoffs?

First off, I know the difference between real Ray Bans and fake ones. I owned a pair of what I thought may/may not have been fake Aviators (polarized lenses), but a Ray Ban retailer verified they were real. Not a big deal since I paid $50 for them (used).

My genius self tried to ride a dirtbike while wearing them and I ran them over, mangling the frames. Scratched up the lenses a little, but still visible. To replace them I bought a similar pair with G15 lenses, non polarized (which I realized after the fact, but I liked them). So now I have a pair of polarized Ray Bans with a damaged frame but halfway decent lenses. I can buy the Ray Ban knockoffs online for $20.

So I'm wondering, are these dimensionally the same so that I can use the real lenses with the fake frame?

Update:

Hoping I wouldn't have to add details, but the reason I want to use the lenses is because they are Ray Ban polarized lenses. I've bought several cheap pairs of sunglasses (even up to $40) that are "polarized" and they do not filter UV rays nearly as well as the Ray Ban lenses.

    To me it doesnt matter, they're just sunglasses. I mean if they were shoes or bags, that would be different. But i'll buy knockoff sunglasses if they're cool :)

    the two solar colorings supply off a various vibe. the two are beachy and summery and point out, you already know, solar. The aviators, for me, is something you may see a prosperous youthful boy with an inheritance wearing with a polo shirt on the golf direction or the indoors maximum sea coast. The clubmasters are greater carefree and don't supply off any vibe of richness besides the reality that in the event that they're variety call, the call will, however the form won't as lots using fact the aviators will. I very own a pair of rayban aviators, i'm lady. i'm 17 additionally. i became strolling with my chum at some point whilst wearing them and he or she looked at me and suggested, "you appear to be a prosperous snobby b***h." hahaha. so they do make you seem slightly pretentious. yet thats no longer a foul ingredient, females like prosperous boys.
