I purchased mine online from WCC using our club discount about three weeks ago. I used a Discount Tire outlet that our club members who have been upgrading their C5/6 wheels and had them check each wheel on the balance machine for runout prior to mounting the tires. All four wheels were good so they mounted the tires and balanced them and I drove away a "happy camper." About 200 miles on them with no observed problems. Lots of from other C6 pilots.

You ask a good question. I suggest you search prior threads on wheels extensively, by using that item "search" above, and filling in the word, wheels.

Vendors, retailers, wheel mfrs., and intermediaries have a history on this site. It's not hard to find. We just had one fellow asking how long should he wait on his wheels that he ordered in early December. I almost felt like asking, "of what year?" but I didn't.
