You may have to be the guinea pig on this. I rarely hear much good about OEM-style reps.
The name of the company is "wac(k)" afterall. j/k. GL.

Bite the bullet and get the real ones. Every time I bought $100-$175 wheels for the winter they did not last more than the one season I bought them. OEM wheels are a lot stronger. The other day I ran over a giant pothole on the FDR Drive and, to my shock, my OEM 172 wheel that ran over it was not damaged or bent. That pothole would have devoured a cheap wheel.
