The Chinese copies aren't going to be good long term going by how vulnerable the OEM VW finish is.
There's an Italian company that does good quality replicas called WSP which will be in the middle of the price between eBay Chinese knock ups and genuine OEM VW ones. In fact they'll be masses cheaper than the VW ones but they don't list Austins in their catalogue just yet.
There was also an Italian company that made Monza Shadow replicas in 19" diameter so if they eventually do a 19" Austin replica it would be interesting!
