Did you know that replacement wheels from the stealership are $860 each for the fronts and $980 each for the rears. The OE wheels are forged aluminum,i.e. made from a big aluminum one piece block, and pounded into a wheel. The aftermarket wheels are cast,ie. melted aluminum poured into a mold. I understand the OE wheels are harder and can crack. The aftermarket wheels are heavier and flex more. Unless you drive like an idiot, either choice is fine. OE $3600/set---- aftermarket about $600/set.

I have had mine for only 6 months , they balanced very well . The local tire shop was impressed that a China made wheel was so easy to balance.
This ebay company has sold to over 28,000 orders with a 99% positive feedback rating ....... I think that is pretty impressive, they are doing something right. BTW shipping for all four wheels + free lugnuts was $89.00 total. Check them out on the C5 vert.
