Replica amg rims!?!?

I've been looking to change my rims as i'm still rocking the stock 06' cls500 rims 18" which look kind of dated and went through just about every aftermarket in my price range till I came across these. I've never bought replica rims so I really don't know much about em.. the seller actually told me they come from the same factory as mercedes rims they just don't get all the same approvals from different companies... not sure if that is true. But anyway I really am just concerned about the looks and obviously I dont want them to crack in half while im on the freeway. Rep told me the wheels are imported from a company called Sttutgart. The price and look is right and it comes mounted and balanced for extra.

Or any suggestions on similarly priced aftermarket rims? I really wanted something concave but definitely black satin or gloss.

Lies, they are most likely made in Chinese factories using the cheapest materials/labor and substandard technologies.
True about the approvals though, these wheels have no chance of passing TUV inspections and I doubt they are JWL certified.

I figured as much.. I really don't have to have amg styling I just like the multispoke and the gloss black. Was actually looking for a more concave design. Is there any quality aftermarket that fits this description? For around a similar price range? Theres so many rims I don't know where to begin and I'm not really trying to spend rotary forged money on a ten year old car.

Something around the 1k mark? Not sure. Some OZ wheels are in that range.

Btw, most of the time "rotary forged" is a fancy sounding term for flow formed.
