hmm worng forum man. should go under wheels, tires, suspension. but to answer your questions, the only disadvantage is not having the name on your wheel, and also, they are more than likely of a lesser quality, maybe able to bend easier and stuff. finish also might not be as great as the originals. but hey, some bigger name companys have crap wheels too. so it is your call really.

Some times it's better to spend an extra $300 and buy a set of rims from a well known shop. If there is a problem with those wheels or tires they are probably alot harder to return or get a replacement.

most likely they'll end up being easier to bend, cheaper finish that will most likely come off, and also, they'll probably be a lot heavier than the originals. If I were you, save your money for a bit and buy the real thing, you won't regret it!
