Default Aftermarket Wheels Question

I was looking at the Motorsport Aftermarket Chrome Wheels on Ebay. Has anyone had either good or bad results with these wheels? Or what about any wheels from the sponsors of this site. Please direct me to where to find some stock looking chrome wheels for a C6 Z51 for a good price. Thanks.....

I'll start by saying, 'Know the manufacturer, and know the vendor'.
I bought Z06 replica wheels made by 'Factory Reproductions', an American company that has wheels made in China [did I say China ].
Most wheels are made in China, and maybe the wheels you have now are made in China.
I did my research and 'FR' wheels has a good reputaion.
I bought mine from 'House of Wheels', a forum vendor.

Thats all I know.

Good Luck.

I bought black motorsport replica z06 rims for my c6 a couple weeks ago. The rims look great, but one of the center caps is extremely loose. discount tire ordered me another one, but haven't heard anything yet.

CCW Wheel makes excellent wheels, but they aren't cheap. Their made in Florida. Me and my brother run their wheels on our 07's and have no issues, we have also gotten excellent customer service from em. Check em out at www.ccwheel.com

I do,however,think they are very reasonable price wise,especially when compared to some of the other high end wheel mfg.
