A touch of wheel bling
Purchased a set of Z06 reproduction wheels from DOCZ. He offered the best price, fast shipping, and superior customer service. Wheels arrived as planned so off to the local GM dealer. Service was top notch. Tech at the dealers was well aware of using jacking pucks and where and how to lift. He even brought me back into the service bay to show me. Shop performed the switch over with no issues. Called me back and showed me that one of the new wheels was out of round. It could of been damaged in shipping as FedEx pretty much destroyed the boxes that contained the front wheels. Most importantly, the customer service to replace it was top notch. Nice to see a vendor stand behind what they sell because sometimes **** happens and its beyond any ones control. Took the new wheel back to the Chevy dealership and they switched it out yesterday. After they replaced the out of round wheel they again brought me back to show me how much better the new wheel was. All the tires were properly inflated and the torque was correct. On the way home hit 80 on I40 and the ride was glass smooth. I hope any future dealings I have with them go as smooth.
Dealer was Dave Kirk located in Crossville TN.
MY last 2 C6's came with optional chrome wheels and I learned my lesson. If your a fan or chrome, DON'T spend $1,995 on optional chrome wheels when buying a new car. Buy whatever comes stock then once the car comes in buy the wheels you really want and you save a bunch of cash in the process. I sold the stock wheels locally for $500 and the center caps went for $75 and then used this money to off set the cost of the new wheels. At the end of the day my total out of pocket expense for the Z06 wheels and installation fees was roughly $450.

Deleted due to incorrect info. DOCZ is not "House of Wheels."

Dealer charged $120. But cut me a break when they remounted the wheel that replaced the out of round, $15.
If discount tire was closer might have used them as they changed the tires on My C6 and did a great job. Chevy dealer told me they had a new machine that wouldn't touch the chrome finish and they guaranted no scratches.

They look great my friend. And, if you like the GM center caps will fit just fine on the wheels as you can see. And you are correct, Docz is at the top for customer service.
