Bad analogy, that would work better on rims.
Its a bumper, basically plastic. It has no effect on ride quality or performance.
Go with umnitza, I have the front bumper and side skirts. Perfect fitment.
Example my bodyshop guy called me to ask what company sells the bumper and side skirts.
He is recommending his customers to them cause of there great quality.

that being said, I still think that an Umnitza bumper is just fine and acceptable - its not really a mechanical part, so no diff. Since our actual bumpers are located under the skin, the skin itself provides no function, except cosmetic. And since cosmeticall Umnitza is just fine, I see no reason on overpaying by $1000

I guess oem wheels vs miro wheels would have been a better analogy. either way the two bumpers are made of completely different materials.
i'm sure the Umnitza bumpers are great quality and have awesome fitment, but I've felt aftermarket bumpers and they just don't feel the same.
I have nothing against the aftermarket bumpers, actually i'm all for them. Just wanted to let the OP know what the difference was so that he could make the best decision.

What's wrong with Miro wheels?

nothing wrong with them as long as you got a good set, I think Ricky has a set, but as several factories make the 6 copies in China (my friend has a factory that does)
and Taiwan, where are they supposed to be made?
