I'm interested in a new set of black corvette wheels for my c6 vert, but don't want to overspend. There is a CA factory that sells the wheels below for $650 on ebay.

It looks almost identical to a set of wheels on this forum:


What's the difference between these other than the corvette emblem in the center?

You get what you pay for.

The ebay sales you are looking at is by Factory Reproductions, where most non-stock C6 wheels come from so there should be no problem. They have a good reputation. You can always call them.

OEM only, you get what you pay for

I have Factory Reproductions split spoke and had no problem.

I've had factory reproduction rims on another car and never had a problem either.

Looks like forumers opinions split between "you get what you pay for" and "no problems". I'm going to try to visit their factory, which is less than 10 miles from my work. Thanks for the opinions.

how do you suppose he can get an OEM c6 z06 wheel that looks like this in 18x8.5 & 19x10?

Some say that aftermarket wheels tend to lose there balance alot more frequently then OEM Wheels.

Same here. Have already purchased a set for my '09 from them.

The problem with cheap aftermarket wheels is that it's hard to get them to balance in the first place, because they aren't hubcentric. So if you don't get the hubcentric rings you'll never get a proper balance.

These came from House of Wheels . Sofar every thing is fine. And the price was right.

My factory repros drive like stock with no balance problems whatsoever.

Mine too. Same goes for my last two corvettes.

I got the same ones from Bob at House of wheels. Looks great ... no problems.

I have not had good luck in the past with repro wheels, but I do plan on getting some CCW or similar wheels with the offset to add Z06 rubber.
