I would not be so sure about the integrity of the marketplace/invisible hand.

I saw some rims recently that would make your hair stand on end, they were in a welding shop to be repaired, they were cracked, I wouldn't run a bicycle on them much less attempt to repair them after they failed once.

...and then after the horrible accident, your insurance company tells you that you are not covered because the aftermarket wheels you were running were not NHTSA approved.

Unless their is a TüV stamp or comparable quality rating, I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole.
