Material and manufacturing process differences can lead to wheels that are:
-soft
-brittle
-heavy
-non-symmetric

Just because they look the same, doesn't mean they are the same. There are hundreds of different aluminum alloys and several different ways to shape it into a wheel.

Although I'm sure Porsche has a ridiculous mark-up on the factory wheels, as they do on other parts, they do use quality wheels.
