Default New Wheels

I just decided to pull the trigger on some new z06 Replica wheels for my 98 Vert when I was reading thur some corvette magazine ande ran across an article saying that after market wheels could be very dangerous. Does anyone have any info about the z06 replicas sold by House of Wheels? Bob seems to sell a lot of them and I have read nonegative posts but just want to make sure. Any suggestions?

George

There may be some issues with some of the manufacturers out there but we have done thousands of sets with zero (knock on wood) problems with the companies we carry. I think as long as you go with a manufacturer who has a proven track record you will be fine.
