Totally agree.
For Tyre, RIM and brake, they protect our life; China replica is terrible, never use.

If no money, I prefer to wait rather than using China replica.

I will see

Metal price (Aluminum) is US$0.8836 (bulk contract - cash price), a wheel could weight 24lbs (18"), that's RMB143.6 per wheel the raw cost excluding all miscellaneous cost. And the wheel is selling RMB300 per piece.

I'd think twice or more if I were you.
