There's big a difference between full-out fakes that fake the brand as well (ie "BBS" wheels off Aliexpress) and reps where they copy the design and just make it differently (ie Rota Grid). The difference between reps and "legit" wheels is much smaller and not as significant. iirc an Aussie news channel did testing a few years back and the fakes were super sketch but the reps were fine. If you're hitting something hard enough to break the spokes you've got bigger problems.

I know some people get sniffy about rep brands copying designs, but some of them come out with their own designs as well, and if you do some digging even most of the "legit" brands have copied designs from other companies.
