What you get with some name brands is a very rigorous quality control. Forging or casting, buying wheels from Volk, Weds, etc. will ensure that the process has been inspected, is controllable, and is relatively defect free. The issue about "fake" wheels is that the quality control process present in the name brands sometimes isn't there. The wheels shatter because the casting process itself can lead to very weak wheels if done improperly. The material properties bear that out.

That, and stealing the IP of another company is just....ugh.

With that said, I'm just curious what 370ztune defines as 'Real Wheels'. I assume this is just a point against Varrstoen, Rota, and other knock-offs?
