Has anyone ever dealt with this company? New wheels will be in the near future for me. Be glad to finally rid myself of the OEM magnesium(sp)ones that I currently have.

I've had OE replicas on both the C5's I've owned and I found them to be good quality. I didn't buy either set from OE but rather from guys on forums. I never had any problem mounting them and the chrome never peeled.

I just bought a set from them. After much research, I went with them but bought off ebay cause of price. They clog ebay with their wheels.
They are made in China which I hate but look good and appear to be good quality. The price and look were right. Haven't got them on yet so nothing more to report. They have good communication. I was able to get locks and lugs thrown in due to shipping issue.

Thanks for the input guys.
Which wheels did you get leadfoot? Trying to stay away from chrome.

Chrome for me and my black car. C6Z deep dish. A little retro like back to the days of the crager deep dish wheels. No rivets as they are a pain to clean and are "too busy" for my liking.
I hunted wheels for months. These are practical and give me the look I was after. You can spend thousands on wheels and there are some beauties out there. Thses just do it for me. I am very wary of where they were manufactured but owners I contacted are quite satisified. Wheels are a personal thing to each their own. Best of luck hunting yours.

I'm facing the same situation, Leadfoot, friend
has a set of black double spoke with polished
outer rim and rivets incl. lugs for a very cheap
price(I think) under $500 . He said he liked
them fine but he sold his Vette and the buyer
wanted the originals. Just don't know if I feel
comfortable with the Chinese Mfg.

Know what your are thinking. The reality is most all are made in China anymore. GM rotors are now made in China. I searched extensively for threads that revealed problems there are none. If you like em buy em. For that kinda money you cant go wrong. Where I bought mine they sell 600 sets of wheels a week! "All made in China with no problems, we offer a life time structural warranty and all meet all DOT standards". The days of American made are gone, I am afraid. Best of Luck

Both of my rear OEM Y2K style thinspokes cracked where the spoke meets the outer rim. Since I was over 36k, GM offered to sell me new rims for about $700 each. I got an entire set of some 'made in China' C6 knock-offs for just a bit more than what GM wanted for one rim, and they all came with a LIFETIME structural warranty.

I still prefer to buy stuff made in the USA whenever practical, but even many of the OEM GM rims are made in China these days

Seems like most everything has Chinese ties around here anymore. Chewy, are those wheels machine faced or chrome? My aging eyes getting the best of me.

I have to return a wheel due to damage in transit. Absolutely no problem from the vendor. They are going the extra mile to make the customer happy. UPS apparently damages about 10 per week. As for China made..I researched some more and the factory that makes these makes OEM wheels for American and foreign vehicles. We just have to get over our bias American made wheels unless the high dollar brands are produced in Chinese factories. They look great to me and are inexpensive so if they dont last I can buy 3 sets for what one premium wheel set costs. I aint got money to burn no more

They're the original C6 motorsport (rivets) style with machined face and black inner rim. Like these only normal C6 not C6Z. FYI, the rivets are fake, but they look pretty good.

I like the motorsport style, but would rather, like leadfoot, avoid rivets. Ever seen rivetless C6 motorsports?
