Default CEC Wheels?

So, I had a friend of mine pickup a set of wheels in another city since he is coming to town in the next week. The seller told me that they were OEM C5 wheels in OE sizes. After my friend picks them up, the stamp on the inside of the wheel has CEC Wheels instead of GM. I now know that these are reproduction wheels, but can't find much on CEC Wheels. Anybody know anything about these wheels? The deal was a good price, but don't know if I just bought junk.

Thanks for any input.

Never heard of CEC wheels. Hopefully someone knows something about them and can vouch for their quality.

Right, thanks. So I did that before I posted and there is no link/evidence that I could find to support them making a C5 reproduction wheel. That's really the reason I asked if anyone knew anything about them and their wheels. I was hoping someone could shed more light on the subject than just an Internet search.

Thanks anyway.
