Default Z06 replica wheels

Have a c6 that I'm thinking about putting Z06 chrome replica wheels on. Appreciate any pics of C-6 with them on & who you got them from for comparison as it appears the design and chrome application is different depending on the manufacturer. Also any reports on Quality & fitment would be great. Thanks in advance.( I've seen one car with west coast corvettes wheel that looks good)

I don't think there are a "lot" of manufacturers, just a lot of Vendors selling the same manufacturers imported cast wheel.

These are the "Factory Reproduction" brand, most forum vendors like "House of Wheels" carry them. Good warranty, nice product, accepts the TPS with no problem, and not that expensive !

I like the polished Z06 wheels. Do any of you have the polished ones and where did you get them?

Ordered mine on Monday from TomZwheels.com. Suposed to arrive Friday. Hoping for the best. Thanks to RBYCC for the pix of the silver coupe as that is what I have. TomZwheels had the best pricing I could find.

Has anyone of you with the Z06 repro wheels tried a big brake kit like the OEM Z06 brakes or Stoptechs BBK? If so, how do they fit?
