names don't become big names for no reason. original designs, material, construction, build quality, r&d, being track proven, etc. are what puts some brands above others. i.e:
company a designs, r&d's, and bulds a high quality forged wheel.
company b makes a mold and builds a cast replica.
they might look and fit the same but they are very different. this doesn't mean wheel b is going to blow up as soon as you tighten the lugs, but don't trick yourself into thinking you got an equal product. you got an inferior product priced accordingly.

most if not ALL of the time you get what you pay for.

There's no doubt about the quality with big names, but OP didn't really mention anything about tracking and all that stuff. He only mentioned about the looks, hence why I said name shouldn't matter to me. When it comes to normal daily use, company a = company b to me. That's what I'm trying say.
everyone has their own take on it. personally, 9/10, i would ride stock before i would ride cheap. there are exceptions but they are low-cost quality wheels rather than cheap.
