Only if it were an OEM pick, Promax is selected to keep the price down , but I assume you want to spend very little, as well.
If it fits use it or don't.. at worst it wont last long , but by then you will buy a different bike .. never heard of the bike brand either..

Use it.
They started as a BMX components brand IIRC, now they sell a bunch of stuff and are QBP distributed. Their ano finishes are pretty nice as well.

When it comes to headsets I will stick with Cane Creek or Chris King. If it doesn't have a C in it, just pass.
Nothing major against Promax I did buy a seat post collar they made because of the color and it has been functional. I see a lot more Promax stuff being spec'd on low end bikes these days and that never fills me with confidence.
