its here and there with replicas... some are made great , some are not.. looks wise they are usually no different. but as far as performacne, which in this case would be weight. they are usually heavier than OEM.

if you dont wanna spend the money on the real deal, i see absolutely no problem in buying aftermarket. (but do your research, on places)

i agree with furious. weight is the biggest issue. usually much heavier than normal.

sometimes you can actually tell the diff between real and replica just by looking at them.

quality of finish is another factor.
