Noob question

I dont know much about aftermarket rims, but what would be the problem with these rims priced under 200$ compared to a vossen or volk wheel??

Infiniti G37 Wheels & Infiniti G37 Rims

Quality... You get what you pay for! Cheap wheels will have less quality finish on them but most importantly, they typically are not as durable and resistant to being bent when you hit a pothole or something.

Quality of workmanship. Materials of construction. Quality of finish. Weight. Original design. Resale value. Prestige.

Basically buying a cheap aftermarket wheel for the car could be compared somewhat to buying a cheaper car that's very similar to a G37. I hate to go there, but it's like buying a Hyundai Genesis instead of the G. For a lot of buyers for a lot of reasons it makes sense and is a great alternative. So the reasons to buy a "brand name" wheel would be in many ways similar to a consumer's reasons to buy a G instead of a Genesis. Or vice versa.
