Default Ordered from TomZwheels

Well got my new 17x11 zr1 chrome rims coming from tomzwheels . Real easy people to work with and was the cheapest . Glad I called before ordering off of ebay. Now to order new tires from somwhere and what kind of tires. Leaning towards BFgoodrich since can't seem to nail down a set of 315 goodyear f1s.

I am about to order the exact same wheels from either Tomz, AFS, or OE Wheels. Let me know how they work out. I just noticed on ebay that OE wheels say they manufacture their own wheels. I thought they all came from china. Is threre any noticeable difference between the three? Are they all shaped exactly the same?

Thanks
