C-5 Wheel Question
I am looking to replace the painted factory wagon type Aluminum wheels on my '99 C-5. They are like brand new being the car has only 36k on the odometer. Just purchased the car 3 weeks ago. Goodyear Eagle Run Flats only have maybe 1500 miles on them so I will reuse them. I like the Polished Thin Spoked wheels on a 2000 and up C-5. Looking to buy either a immaculate used set of Polished Factory wheels or may consider brand new after market. Has anyone here had any experience with the after market verses the factory wheel? Is there much difference with either the wheel or center caps. I see one of the vendors here on the forum has a nice deal on a set of after market Polished Thin Spoke wheels with center caps and also offers free shipping. Don't want to commit to them until I know more info.

Buy from a reputable vendor and you'll be OK. If you go reproduction, the ones made by Factory Reproductions are good quality and look just like the stock wheels.
