Default Anyone bought Factory Reproduction brand Wheels?

I'm looking to replace the OEM wheels to the GS and wondering if anyone has purchased any Factory Reproduction brand wheels. I'm looking at the FR29, ZR1 replica rims. They are not forged, but are pretty inexpensive as far as rims go. Just looking for some input on the brand. Thanks.

It's a brand of rims, like Vossen, Cray, Enkei, BBS etc. Factory Reproductions is the name of the company that makes the FR29 rim.

I had them on my '99 C5, seemed ok to me. I wouldn't do HPDE with them, but didn't have any issues of note.

I had these wheels on my 2014:



They are Factory Reproductions - bought them in 2019 and they were on the car up until I sold it earlier this month. Never had a problem with them - the balanced out perfectly and the finish was very good.

Red and chrome always looks good. Did you replace your car?

I have had these on my C7 for over a year. They look good and work good, 4 for $1000. I changed the lug nuts to black.
