If you don't mind reproductions and not the real thing. I'll have a set of prestine factory '03 high-polished thin spokes (same style) mounted and balanced on the new Goodyear GS-D3 tires available after this weekend. They have roughly 2k miles on them. Pampered since day one. The set comes complete with '97-'00 tire pressure sensors installed, centercaps, lugnuts and lugnut caps - $1400 + shipping. Send me an email if interested.

My concern would be who makes them, what kind of quality are they, and what warranty comes with them. The price is good, but sometimes you get what you pay for. I prefer to go with forum vendors for things like this because they stand behind them.

I purchased the Z06 style from O.E. last week ($420). Shipping was a little steep ($120), but they arrived the same week. Also, e-Bay offered a money back guarantee for $30. This guarantee states that there doesn't have to be a problem - if you're not happy with your purchase, return for a full refund. I called the Florida BBB and checked out OE - there were no negative reports. I called OE and went throught a list of questions with them - they answered all my questions completely. I thought I'd take the chance.
Wheels are manufactured there in Florida by OE (not from China). In the case of the Z06 repro's, they're made to the same specs as Speedlines.
I won't have a chance to get my wheels mounted for another week or so. But in the next few weeks, I'll relay any feedback.
