I've tried "cheap," aftermarket replica wheels in the past, and I wouldn't do it again. They are heavier, not as strong, and not finished to the same level as factory wheels. Factory Porsche wheels are very good, and unless you're going with something from RUF, BBS, Fikse, or equivalent, I would stick with factory. If it's for track days, look for a set of straight and true used factory wheels- they don't have to be cosmetically perfect, obviously.
