Thanks for your concise summary review on OEM vs aftermarket vs replica.
I would be interested in the aftermarkets. I do not race nor drive aggressively. Just on the edge in terms of how well they will perform without getting bent or cracked on regular daily driving and of course long distance once in a while.

If it's everyday dailly driver and you'd be changing wheels season to season (some people do), you can also consider that.
A lot of aftermarket wheels easily bend or crack just like the replicas. I haven't seen that man OEM crack but i'm sure you'll find quite a few examples of those on the site. I have replicas on mine. That's also because I didn't want to spend a $2K+ on wheels alone.
