The problem isn't that replica's are poor shitty wheels, the problem is the business ethics behind blatantly ripping off designs from the upper tier companies, not just using similar designs, it's blatant copies to undercut the bigger names and sell the same look for a cheaper cast price. I don't support rep wheels but I don't think they are cheap dangerous wheels to drive on.
What Certs do the Chicaras carry? JWL? TUV? VIA?
Even Rotas are JWL.

Chicaras carry none
