i would check the edges of the spokes to the back side of the wheels. Are there burrs or rough edges? Also is the inside of the wheel and backside full powder coated?
Mercedes wheels have 0 burrs/rough edges and are fully coated. Very well made.

lots of things :D
Sorry to rain on the parade but I can't stand replica stuff. Since you asked for opinions, I'll respond. Buy the real thing or buy something else.
Would you put on an E55 "replica" body kit - as in fiberglass?
Maybe add some AMG badges to make a "replica" E55?
Woud you wear a replica Rolex with the $10 pair of Oakleys from Mexico and $3 Nike shirt?
Replica stuff is for those who buy cubic zirconia over diamonds. What do you think of that person flipping burgers with the giant CZ dangling from them? Wow! - they are cool, look at those giant diamonds, I bet they are rich!
Replica = Fake.
I'm sticking with my real E63 wheels.

I don't have problems with them. Here's mine on my 06 E350. I like the E63 wheels that's why I bought these, replica or or not. So far they're fine. I had so many cars with custom wheels on them, whether they're $5000/set of 4 or $1000K, if you hit a pothole, you'll damage it in some ways. Do the math! Mine is a daily driver.

PS The grill is comming off [its in good condition - only a couple of months old] if anybody wants it PM me, will do a Paypal deal for $100. Buyer pays Shipping.

good choice of wheel...reps or not -- don't worry about it...
...it sounds like you bought them for the right purpose -- daily driving. besides they look good. guys on this forum have Brabus Reps so no worries bro...I think the only time it becomes an issue is when someone puts an 'AMG' or 'Brabus' badge on their ride when they are riding on reps of those brands.
a friend of mine provided me this link regarding an E63 type wheel but made by a reputable manufactor: Axis...

now I wouldn't mind spending money on a set of 20's....hmmmm
