That's a vastly different opinion of quality; Ladas are fundamentally good cars, that's the reason there are still so many around, affordable, serviceable, reliable, and safe as you stated, these factors equal quality. They might not be desirable, but similarly Lada Nivas + Rivas still fetch a good price, they are capable cars, and desirable to some.
We'll just see how many sets of these alloys are still around in 15 years time shall we? Then they can prove their quality.
In my eyes, passing basic a safety test doesn't make them inherently 'safe' they have to be time proved.
I wouldn't fit them to my car in the same way I wouldn't buy LingLong tyres, I don't need to take that risk, I own a car to enjoy driving it, not to scrimp on.
