Vega pro + Vega Asia. As you can see from replies here and replies on all the other T-alternative threads, every company makes a 05 and 64 equivalent. If you are interested in educating yourself, look up cross sectional photos of rubbers on guoqiuhui.net, focus on the sponge, pimple, topsheet thickness and coloring to get an idea of which rubber is similar to which.

The market is actually more homogenous than most online reviews suggest.

Tenergy series has always been unique in the way its topsheet grabs the ball and generates spin and it's hard to find the precise alternatives from other ESN brands.
For T64, Andro has the Rasanter R42/R47 which seems closest alternatives on market right now in the way both having quite pretty low ball arc and requires lots of sponge engagement to generate strong spin. R47 would be faster though.
T05 however, very few rubbers would match its characteristics of high arc, high speed and very high spin at once. Neither Andro, Tibhar, Joola, XIOM, Donic and Yasaka's closest competitors to Tenergy has the same high throw of T05, even when some of those brands' rubbers can match or exceed commercial T05's spin and/or speed.
