any downfall with buying replica wheels?

I am looking at buying a set of corvette replica wheels. I have the link down here, any down falls anyone has had. And I believe that these rims will fit with no spacers.

Does anyone have an opinion if I should have the bolts going around the wheel or not. TPIS has the exact same wheel just minus the chrome bolts around the edge

Those wheels will require a spacer. The offset is 56mm.
