Got mine through Florida Speed Shop. They were drop shipped from California from Factory Reproductions, who seems to be the distributor for most aftermarket imported from China reproduction wheels.
Solid transaction with no issues.
Got the black chrome C7 Z06 style.

Whoever you buy from, if you buy repros, make sure you can return them easily. I had an entire set of wheels sent to me by WCC with huge blemishes on the barrels, and one wheel even had pitting in the chrome. Returning them was a major pita.

When I last checked with Corvette Mods and West Coast Corvette (in March or April) , they told me that ALL repro wheels were backordered.
I called House of Wheels and talked to Bob and ordered some genuine GM OEM wheels from them and they arrived promptly and looked great!
They may be a bit more expensive than repros, but hey, they are OEM and you get what you pay for.
I would recommend House of Wheels.

I was interested in the black chrome Z06 reproduction wheels as well. After comparing individual prices for wheels, new Michelins and TPMS sensors, Florida Speed Shop quoted me a very reasonable price and I purchased the entire package. Keith is very easy to work with, answers emails and phone calls as well. Can't wait to get them mounted!
