Most good alloy wheel manufacturers started out making motorsport wheels, not making cheap, crap ones then making good ones.
If we have no idea how light they are, no idea how much clearance they provide and no idea how strong they are, then how are they a good replacement for even steel wheels?
That's the point for some people, some people buy them purely for looks.
