Default 1965/1966 repro steel wheels quality?

I was thinking of buying a set of the reproduction steel wheels - 15x5.5 that sell for @$600. Does anyone know of the quality of these? I assume they are Made in China.

Ken, the 65-66 wheels are being made by Corvette Specialties of MD West. I don't know where they are actually having them made, but generally the quality of their reproduction parts, are among the best available.

If you want, I'm sure I can find out where they're made, and how the quality is.

I'd appreciate that Glenn. I've got new w/w radials to put on, and I'd like to keep the Coker 775x15's on the original wheels stored away. I just don't want to have one those new wheels passing me on the road.
