Default Chrome rims

Just got some replica chrome rims, for my 05' c6. There the same as my polished rims. I hope there won't be any change in handling.. Have you guys had any problems with aftermarket rims..........

only probs heard on these pages are possible not balancing well, if that's your def of handling. suggestion: depending on return/exchange policy of your seller, if new, have each wheel spun without tire first on balancer. see if they're round, true and don't wobble. if does, call seller and ask what to do to send back. if not, mount tire and balance. some vendors require tire not be mounted, wheel and tire not be mounted on car for full return/replace. just sayin'.....

You probably will be fine....China wheels are as good or better than taiwan wheels most of the time.

sometimes you get good ones and sometimes you get bad ones, I've had them both. Most are good though.
