Depends on who manufactures the aftermarket wheels.

Even genuine OEM ones with Porsche part numbers on them are made by qualified suppliers; most of whom are also in the aftermarket industry.

Well, what about the Alleggerita HLT wheels that I mentioned as an example?

Those are made by OZ, a reputable wheel maker. No issues there.
