I have never heard of a company called Replica Wheels - that’s not to say they are bad, just haven’t heard of them. There are a number of reproduction wheel companies out there, with O.E. Wheels and Factory Reproductions being two of the better known companies. And of course, there are a number of manufacturers that make very nice looking wheels for a C5.

From what I see - these replica wheels are cast from aluminum, and OEM wheels are forged - so the OEM wheels are stronger. If you're just going for looks then it won't really matter. You'll save money and they'll work fine. Just make sure you take them to a place to see if they're straight before mounting tires on them.
