Default Factory Wheels
Does anyone have any experience or knowledge about Midwest Wheel and Tire? I'm pricing chrome wheels for my 2015 C7 and the price I'm being told is very good for "factory" never been used wheels. They say they have a 100% guarantee if you don't them. How would one go about confirming they are the real deal before or after you get them?

According to their website Midwest Wheel and Tire deals only with OEM wheels. They do not sell knock offs or replicas.

O.E.M. wheels should have "CORVETTE" on them.

Correct and the ones shown on their website have Corvette or ZR1 cast into the wheel.

Speedline, Mexico, and the part number. At least that's what's on my GS black wheels.

I picked up a set of Cray's for my second set and like them better than my OEMs.
