Default C5 replica wheels on Ebay?

Has anyone purchased these, or know someone who has. They are replicas of the y2k C5 wheels in chrome , they come in the same 17 - 18 sizing and will support the pressure sensors.
They sell for about $750 for the set of 4, and that just seemed awful cheap to me, is there something to them Im not seeing. Because if not I plan to buy a set.

Scott, do you remember which vendor you used? There are two of them selling those wheels for about the same price.

You can sometimes get a really good deal on e-bay. I would want to know who makes the wheels, where they are made, and what warranty comes with them. Finally, try to find out what you have to do if you have a warranty problem. Good luck.

Would you happen to know what the setback on the Y2K wheels are?

Corvettes of Houston is selling on ebay for $ 740. See my post " has anyone bought wheels from them " I tried calling last night to get answers to questions like yours but i got voice mail. The other guy is Bob at House of Wheels in Florida, but he is over $ 800. Bob wrote me
to say his are triple plated in USA. Perhaps a group purchase ?
