Default Looking for Z06 Motorsport wheel pics

Thinking of getting them for my Navy Blue Metallic C5:

I found these links on TomzWheels.com and was wondering which ones I should get:

O.E. Concepts:
https://host279.ipowerweb.com/~tomzw...ffe939d13c0e26

Topline:
https://host279.ipowerweb.com/~tomzw...d213bc0152d322

Factory Reproductions:
https://host279.ipowerweb.com/~tomzw...c7aa9930fd484f

And CorvetteForum Store:
http://www.zip-products.com/Corvette...807A69AEC6B582

Now, I know the adage, you get what you pay for, but is there any real difference between these wheels?

Thanks!

It states that they are made by Factory Reproductions (what the heck is that), anyone with any experiences with this vendor. They are selling them for $800 which seems like a good price, but I have no idea about the quality of the rim, so any insight on the vendor/manufacturer is appreciated.

Also, if you could post some pics of them mounted on your ride, it would really help. Finally, what is the Z06 fitment as referenced in the URL?

Thanks for your help!
I have a set of these but there is no way I would pay 800 bucks. I picked up a set from Tomz Wheels for 450 in Z06 sizes (an inch wider in front and rear). Shop around, you can do better.

They are holding up great so far. They were made by Factory Reproductions (the company you inquired about) and accept the stock pressure sensors. I have no complaints. Keep an eye on the for sale section. Occasionally these go on sale an you can get a great deal, that's how I picked mine up so cheap.

Default Z06 Motorsports

You can see a few pics of my car on illmac77's website. He has the black/ polished Z06's and I have the all black Z06 motorsports. We both got ours from Bob at House of Wheels. For the price, you can't beat them

Here's the link: http://www.geocities.com/cizekma/pictures.html
