I have bought reproduction wheels and had them on the car I bought, I would not give you two cents for them. They are made in China and the chrome will separate within six months. That is if you are buying chrome wheels. But personally I would not buy anything made in China.

I bought C7 Z06 chrome wheels from WCC in March 2016. Not sure where they came from. Didn't ask. They came with a three year warranty. I take care of them. I'd buy them again!
And the prices are up!

I bought repro wheels from them and when having local installer mount them said at least one was warped. No problem with West Coast Corvettes and they accepted the return, however it cost me $160 to ship them back. Lessoned learned for me anyway, don't buy repros or buy locally where you don't have to ship back.
