Default who has experience with OE Wheels?

I'm considering 4 aftermarket wheels for my 'other' car as I'm gonna sell it and want to keep the Fikse's that are on it. Who has experience with OE Wheels in Florida? Or another manufacturer under $500 for 4 wheels (17 x 9.5)

Thanks, bma2

Lots of OE wheels on here. Most of the replica Z06 wheels are OE.

I've seen very few complaints about them. Just keep in mind they are $500 wheels and are not necessarily "show quality".

I like mine....

Some day I'm gonna have to update my photos........

I bought a set of chrome Z06 and had nothing but problems with balance. Poor inner barrel quality with peeling chrome and dissatisfied with the whole mess of balance problems and appearance. Sold them to someone who wanted to use them for track use- Purchased used OEMs and had a beautiful ride and appearance.
There may be some good OE wheels out there for a huge price that are real quality. Most now days are all from China and price dictates quality in most cases.

I've bought two sets of wheels from them and have been very satisfied with both the wheels and their customer service.

One word of caution, once you mount a tire on the wheel, you own it.... period. Have the tire shop trial fit each wheel on the car without a tire and then spin it to make sure it is not out of round before mounting. They explain this in their instructions but a lot of people fail to read.

I've had two sets - no issues with either - I've had these C6 ZO6 wheels for several months and they're great...
