Default O.E. Wheels

I am looking at a set of 2K wheels for my 98. The wheels are distributed by O.E. Performance. Has anyone had any experience with them? I don't know if aftermarket is the way to go. Need advice.

I had a set of Y2K thin spokes on my 94 Vert I bought from them (O.E. Wheel Distributors in Sarasota, FLA right? on Ebay)

They were polished and had no clear coating...so when they got dirty...it was a pain to clean them! Other then that...they were a bit heavier then my stock GM rims...but they did balance well with little weights added and looked great on the C4.

Hope this helps!

I've read about alot of problems with the aftermarket Y2K wheels.
It seems that quite a few have either cracked or broken right apart.
There are alot of factory thin spokes available on the parts for sale or wanted section, and I have never heard of any factory thin spokes grenading.
