O.E. Concepts - You will hear varying comments on these. They are about 10 lbs heavier than stock per wheel. Some complain about balancing issues. I have chromed Z06 wheels on mine from them and they are fine after 2 years. For the price, they're pretty hard to beat for a street car.

My friend has a set of thin spokes on his 98 and he's had trouble with vibrations at certain speeds. I'm sure O.E. would have helped him out with the issue, but he never contacted them.
They look great and appear to be good quality. How can they be 10 lbs heavier? Are they cast steel?

Yes! I bought my ZR1 rims and tires from them when I had my C4 and they were in great condition, shipped quickly and arrived in excellent condition too.
The price is right as well as the shipping charges, a good buy IMHO!
Thanks,Matt

Buy from a Forum Vendor - if for no other reason than you can at least communicate with them in case of issues.

My bad, Did'nt mean to break any rules. I keep my eyes open for deals on the forum. It's hard to justify dropping 1-2k on wheels. Would rather put into h.p., will soon be ordering lt headers from T.S.P.. Really was just curious as to the quality of some of the products out there.

Gene at Kar Shop (a CF Vendor) is an awesome guy to deal with - great prices, good stock - a win-win.
