I believe most of them are made in China. A lot of people on here have bought them from House of Wheels, he's a vendor on here.

I have a set of black C6 Z06 replicas on my 01. Sorry I cant tell you the brand. I bought them on E Bay so I could get my factory wheels refinished. I will say they are heavy and were hard to balance properly. The extra weight definitely changes the ride and handling on the car somewhat. For beater rims they were ok but I would not want to keep them on long term.

equal? no. Even the same size wheel from the same crap manufactures can very by a pound or so. and yes can be very hard to balance too

Didn't weigh them , but I can tell you there not that much heavier than my stock wheels and tires, considering there a size up from stock.
