Gee, I hate to hear that. I was really wanting a set I found but the disintegration issue is a real deal breaker for me. Thanks for sharing!

All kidding aside, I have had a set of reproduction C6 Z06 wheels on my'01 for about 2&1/2 years now. I ordered them from a forum vendor, but they came directly from Factory Reproduction Wheels. Had them mounted and balanced and still no problems

I had replica Y2K's on both te C5's that I've had and they weren't a problem. I don't have them now though.
