Default wheels for C6 base

Hey Guys, I've bent one of my chrome front wheels. Took it to a shop to have it straightened but they couldn't do anything with it. Anybody have one for sale?
new OEM is over $600. Or I am thinking about these on Ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/331833020426.
Seems like a good price But I wonder about the quality. I'm sure they are China made.
anyone have these on their car?
thanks for the help

Here are a few places that sell "new" or "as new" GM stock wheels ... I would have looked it up, but you didn't say what year your car was......WW

My car is an 07. Sorry I forgot to include.
What about the eBay wheels. I would like to switch to black but can't afford some of the prices I've seen

It all depends who makes the wheels , I have heard both good and bad from guys that bought aftermarket wheels ... I have known a few guys that bought from "OE Wheels" on ebay that have been very happy with the purchase...Some of the online companys don't have a very good reputation and should be avoided... The best thing to do is let the guys on here point you in the right direction when it comes to buying new wheels...There is a lot of knowledge on this forum that should be used when you want to purchase something........WW

Look for an oem wheel...it won't be that difficult to find. I got a whole set of those wheels, tires, center caps and sensors for $1,300. That makes the wheel fairly inexpensive.

Bob at House of Wheels can help with OEM or reproductions.
I have gloss black spiders on my car from him. Had a bad rim and he overnighted me a new one along with a return shipping lable. Great service.

I think that number is fromBob- house of wheels I inquired about replacing an OEM chrome wheel but decided the slight curb rash I can live with for now.

As mentioned by others, contact forum vendor Bob w/House of Wheels. I just purchased 4 OEM speedlines with center caps shipped for less than $1200.

If you advertise the wanted section on CL for one to match the pic you post and a price you're willing to pay, one will show up in a day or two. Although if the guy who owns the car it came from does the same deal, the guy who sold you the one knows where to find 4 more now.
