Reproduction wheels
I am really on the fence about upgrading to the Spyder chrome wheels for my 2004 MY Coupe. Prices and warranty seems to vary all over the map.
My main concern, as all reproduction wheels seem to originate from China, is the quality over the long haul, particularly the chrome.
I have read many good comments regarding House of Wheels in Florida, unfortunately threre have been not so good comments about Factory Reproduction wheels.
Appreciate your comments with your experiences.
Thanks

OE is very polite, better prices and quick shipping. No problems with them. All of these wheels are made in China now. The quality is usually fine. No problems with the ones I have (chrome) and they've been on the car for about 3 years.

+ 1 on O.E.Wheels .. had mine for 1-1/2 yrs and I am very pleased with them. The transaction was smooth and very fast. Bought them with tires mounted an all I did was bolt them on - perfect balance. Mine are not chrome (gunmetal paint center with polished and clearcoated rims) ... no flaws at all.
