Yes, They're made in China like 90% of wheels now days. (Even GM) I have C6Z06 made by them. I've had them since they came out. No problems with the chrome or balancing. They do weigh more than stock but with non run flat tires and the FR wheels not a lot heavier.Now let the flames begin....unsprung weight, made in China... Not everyone can afford CCW, HRE. Find the style you want and contact any of the vendors on the forum. Their price is just as good as any place else. JW motoring, or Bob's House Of Wheels both good vendors.

I have C5 Z06 repo wheels made by Factory Reproductions. Been on the car since new (2003) and they still look new. No chrome blemishes, balances perfectly, etc.
