Default Opinions on eBay replica wheels?

Something like these two:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/20-BLACK-MA...T/202299421922

https://www.ebay.com/itm/20-RS7-Styl...5/254053463306

From doing a forum search it seems some people are adamantly against these and also others have purchased them without complaints. Thoughts?

IMO, I don't think that 20" will look better than the S4/S5 19" 5-Spoke Cavo and I would rather have a few millimeters of tire wall. .Although I don't know the manufacturer of those wheels on ebay, I bought many sets of replicas (RWC and Replika), using them in winters/salt and all did well

I would not trust my life on wheels from unknown manufacturer. At least or your decedents will have someone to sue in case something untoward happens to you.

Nothing from Tire Rack that would work? At least they've vetted and will stand behind their product.

IF the companies 1) Are still in business; 2) Can be found; 3) Aren't Chinese-based.

Just bought the RS7 ones. I'll take the chance because this looks absolutely sick. Not like I'll be doing track driving or anything. Got them in 20x9 ET25 with Hankook V12's mounted balanced and shipped for $1550. Mockup:
