Default Aftermarket wheels

I've got a cracked RR whl on my 02 coupe. Wonder if anyone has any experience w/aftermarket whls.
I'm looking at a used GM on the forum but if that falls through I might consider aftermarket. Dealer wants $660
Aftermarket=$250.

They won't be OEM. These are reproduction wheels. What finish do you have?

We have chrome and polish. Yes we do sell singles.

Notes to self:

1. Buy forged, not cast wheels. Forged are stronger.

2. Many, many wheels coming out of Calif are from China. Enough said??!!

3. Many good wheels and deals here on the forums.
