I tried to ask questions several times no answer. Web site doesn't give prices. I went with TOMZWHEELS you can order them online

I just got mine from West Coast Corvette and am very pleased with them. They look great and the price was right. The brand they sell is called Factory Reproductions.

Tomzwheels have used them for 2 sets of wheels and was extremely happy both times. Tom went out of the way and put my order through, personally, after hours on a Friday!
