Has anyone purchased the Z06 repros from House of Wheels and if so what was your experience? I'm thinking of putting them on my C5 vert. How about best prices for Fikse's which I'm considering also; looking at the Profil 10. Anybody hav'em and do you like 'em?

Just put Z06 Autocross Triple Chrome on my 2004 Coupe. They look great and the overall quality of the wheel is very good. Bobs House of Wheels was easy to work with and Bob himself very good. Transaction was easy and I had my wheels in five days. Price was the best I could find, searched for two weeks.

Got my ZO6 chrome wheels from Discount Tire for 1220.00 and that is the total price (tax included). I love them on my 1998 Nassau Blue Coupe. I have a picture I could email you if you would like. Haven't tried to post a picture here yet.

I did not buy my wheels there, but I have heard nothing but good things about HOW. Good luck with your choice.

Not sure if you have seen or considered CCW, but they are very well made and John and Chip are a real pleasure to deal with,..

Hey Evil-Twin, back off a little. Please excuse my ignorance. Sure, I knew we were talking wheels. Just needed more info on a company I was not familiar with.
