Just got my Porter Cable 7518 router today. The collet looks like it was made by "The lowest bid". Can anyone direct me to an after market company that makes a high quality collet for this router?

Spartan, ugly, somewhat short, but it will hold, not to worry.

I own four PC routers and, except for size, they all have identical, interchangeable collets and all are well made. If you suspect that you have a bad collet, I'd sure try to do something about it before using the 7518 ... that rascal is just too big and powerful to be messing with with a suspect part like the collet.
If you have a local Porter Cable dealer like WoodCraft, or even the BORGSs, they should carry spare collets for sale ... around $US 12 the last time I picked one up.
