Default Deep Dish Thinspokes......feedback wanted

Guys,

I posted this a couple of weeks ago in the parts section but didnt get any user feedback...

There are a couple of forum vendors supplying C5 Deep Dish, chome, thin spoke aftermarket wheels at good pricing. Before I shell out for a set, I'd like to get some feedback from somone who has actually bought these... I bought aftermarkets for my BMW M3 a couple of years ago and they were out of round and wished I'd posted this question on a BMW forum first.....

Anyone out there who has bought these that can let me know their likes / dislikes the feedback would be appreciated??

I've looked hard at those as well. I really like the subtle difference over stock.

I bought a set of the bolted deep dish 17/18 thin spokes a couple of years ago and they still look like brand new. I buy mine directly from OE Wheels and have bought several sets of wheels for different vehicles from them and never have had a problem with any of sets..

I would be interested to know how well the chrome holds up. Have seen several repro's that are crap after a year. By the way what happened to the spelling in your title?

I have lots of customers with these. I've never had a complaint about chrome or anything after 2 years of selling them. I'm sure they will chime in soon.

Got my chome 18/19 C6 Z06 wheels from Jhonathan over a year ago. Still look just like new.

Mounted and road force balanced fine. I've hit some serious pot holes and still not an issue.
