Default aftermarket trim rings

Allthough we still have all the original trim rings one of them got scratched up on a curb thru the fast food drive in. We're thinkin about gettin the aftermarket 15x8 stainless steel rings. I see the Wheel Vintiques ones in Summit and Jegs and I see the ones offered in Ecklers and Mid America but the dont list a brand name. Are these basically all the same or is one better than the other? They all list the same price of about $80 for a set of 4. Should I go with the Wheel Vintiques or the unknown brandname from one of the Corvette vendors?

The aftermarket clip on with retainers all the way around and acuall stay on better. They look a little different too, . They seem to be missing a little ridge on the edge. They do look great. You can get them at shows for around $50.
