Complaints I have read about replica/imitation wheels: Vibration, ride quality, road noise, cracking, paint chipping/peeling. As stated before, Miro seems to be the only replica's people do not complain about.
IMO, avoid replica's...spend some extra money and get good quality, safety, and peace of mind. GL with your decisiion.

Replicas are not good. You take some risks.
Save money by getting a quality tire that is less expensive. Don't try to save money on wheels. Just a small weight imbalance can lead to massive vibration.
