Default Knock Off wheels

I'm sure this question has been asked numerous times however as a new member I'm going to ask it again. Which company seems to have the best Knock Off Wheels (reproductions)? Do you know what company Coker tire uses for the ones they sell?

In the last 2-3 weeks someone posted about Corvette American now has the most accurate wheels. That's all I know. Do a search. Dennis

It seems like there are two current primary contenders, along with the vintage Western Wheels if you are looking for true knock-offs (as opposed to bolt-ons with spinner covers). If I understand correctly, the two currently competing products are both available as bolt-ons with spinners, or as true knock-off wheels.

This might be one of those things where you have to actually see the wheels in person, side by side, and then choose which one you think looks best.

The newly-retooled Corvette America wheels look very nice, and Virginia Vettes has competitive pricing on them. The also-new "America's Finest Corvettes" wheels are well done, but are priced higher. Check them out and make the call. Have no idea which ones Coker is selling.

Virginia Vettes sell Corvette America generation four wheels at an affordable price. We are not aware of anyone less expensive.

I would love some for mine. But everytime the bucks show up, I find something I need or want more.
