Default Reproduction wheels

I am in the market for a set of 17x9.5 wheels and was wondering if there are any OEM style of reproduction wheels that I should avoid? Which brand is reccomended ? It seems there are a bunch of reasonably priced wheels for sale on the internet in the $125 per wheel price range i.e. CLAY Wheels, are these made in China or somthing? my C4 has ZR-1 style wheels on it when I got it, I am not sure how long they were on there but the chrome is coming of on the insides and two of them are out of round causing a bad vibration. They don't look like they hiy anything sideways i.e. curb because all the lips are clean. Ant reccomendations on what brand and were to get them?

I bought a set of black-center 17x9.5 and 17x11 ZR-1 style replicas with tires from FACTORY REPRODUCTIONS via Ebay. They look great and fit perfectly. They offer the correct offsets for any year, so no spacers are needed. Great service, too. The balance weights came off in transit, but they reimbursed me to have it done locally before i installed them. Ask for Dave. Tel is 800 824 2676 http://factoryreproductions.com/
