Time for new wheel cylinders?

I took my truck to the local inspection station and was rejected due to burnt out license plate lights and a leaking wheel cylinder on the rear left side. Only slight sweating around the end rubber caps. So i went to the local autozone for the part and they sold me brakeware brand cylinders for 15 dollars each. I just want to know if these are any good since they're chinese, or should i go with oem Aisin wheel cylinders. Just asking because warranty is void if use for off-road according to autozone. Thanks.

They don't have to know you were off-road when you take it in for warranty.

Its only a 3 month warranty. But i figured since its going in a toyota truck it must be able to handle some abuse.

If the warranty is just 3 months, don't do any off-roading. This will give you some time to find out if they're good on their own WITHOUT the off-roading.

Almost all that kind of parts are made in China.

When you can run 24 hours you only need to unbolt the chains and hose the floor down twice a day.

When your labor cost is a bag of rice a day you can under bid the world and still get rich
