Default Z06 Motorsport wheel differences?

I think I've decided to go with the black motorsports, BUT.....I have a few questions. Are there different types of these wheels? I've seen some CF vendors selling a set of 4 for around $750, while others are around $1500. Yes, I know about the different sizes and their price difference - I'm talking about comparing either stock C5 or stock Z sizes, not something like 19/20. Are all these wheels manufactured by the same company or do some vendors sell a better wheel than others?

yes there are two different types. The real ones, or at least in my opinion they are real, are the ones with more, smaller rivets. The reproduction ones have bigger and less rivets on them. It would be pretty hard to tell unless you were looking. I know that Bob @ House of wheels sells the real ones and a place called Tomz Wheels sells the repros.

Good luck on the buy

Well, they're both repos made by 2 different manufactures. I was told that one was heavier than the other, but i don't remember which. I got mine from Bob
