Are all the repo wheels you see on different website all made by OE Wheels LLC. Have heard some not so good things about them.

Mine came from "factory reproductions" in calif. Only had them on for a month but seem good.

I bought a set of chromed ZR-1 replicas from eBay from AFS. When I got them I found that "OE Wheels" is molded into the inside of one of the spokes. The strange thing to me is that this wheel is not shown on the OE Wheel web site online catalog. I guess they make them exclusively for AFS.
