VW 'Style' alloys

[BenCar]

I'm looking to replace the wheels on my California to something slightly larger, like the OEM 18"s.
I've found these one eBay:

18" VW Palmerston Style Alloy Wheels B+P et50 5x120 for Volkswagen Transporter | eBay

VW badges are NOT included. Ensure that all products are thoroughly checked and any issues reported within 24 hours of receipt.

They say they are the same 'style' and that they are commercially rated. They are not OEM.
Anyone see a red flag here or should I go for it?

They look nice, but what are they made out of and to what standard and by who?
With the state of our roads one false pot hole and that could be it.
do your homework and satisfy yourself that they are up to the job you are going to ask of them.
Are they load rated to the right spec for the Cali ?

You pay your money you take your choice. Personally, I wouldn’t. Notwithstanding questions around quality and load rating, UK roads are in too bad condition for 18’s, you’ll trash the ride quality and your spare will have a different rolling circumference. How much is a bit of bling worth to you?

Would only fit OEM.

They are the only 4 things connecting van, you & family to the tarmac.

Maybe you're right. I sent them a message and all they could tell me was 'they are load rated' but couldn't say who had done the testing. Don't want a cracked alloy/flat in the middle of nowhere. Shame as the originals are soooo expensive.
