1) Unbranded ones are mostly inferior quality. Same goes for local shops who uses design of branded rims (replica). Heavy yet soft.
2) Safety = Won't break. Look around the internet, you see pictures of rims snapping.
Replica rims are soft, you go thru super big pothole, a strong impact, wrap already.
3) They have quality and reputation to uphold. Their rims are stronger than replica ones.
Can you please advise

Please explain how is quality defined as inferior and superior? How do you measure the weight and softness (pertaining to material)
2) Safety = Won't break. Look around the internet, you see pictures of rims snapping.
What is the parameter measured to consider the rim to not to break?
How is safety ensured?
3) They have quality and reputation to uphold. Their rims are stronger than replica ones.
Please explain what is the quality that you have mentioned above?
How are their rims stronger than the replica ones? Is strength the only consideration? How is the strength measured?
Doesn’t matter if the company is listed, it’s still replicas with quite frankly no proven reliability. And the biggest problem with almost all - if not all - of the SSW range, is that they are heavy, no lighter than any stock rims, but without the proven Enkei build quality. To me that is just as even more pointless as compared to changing to any other replicas.
Brutal fact.
A good rim is expensive because of its strong and light alloy
Apart from the material presumably from your definition of strong and light alloy, what else makes the rim good?
Cheap is not always Good. Better is not Cheap.
Depends also on the production supply chain network and the marketing strategy to price it higher or lower in order to create a perception.
