Default Morxchn Z06 replica OE Wheels

Im ready to pull the triger tommorrow on the Z06 replica in black with the stainless rim for my AO 07 Vert. I just can't get past the great price compared to Other Brands. It gives me more money for new tires.
For those of you that own this wheel already...Will these accept the OEM center corvette caps? Any problems getting the Sensors to mount up? And any problems with the finish after a year or two?

Default Purchase made

I did not receive any replys. I ordered today and I will give a update on quality when received.
It seems that most complaints about this company are from many years ago. More positive posts in thread searchs that negative.
The center cap provided is a black embossed (recessed) image of the crossed flags C5 style. They did not have the c6 style. The off sets for front and rear are off from OEM but within tolerence's . They state they have not weighed them against OEM styles but that they maybe a couple of pounds more per wheel. My OEM 5 spoke is chromed something (unknown base metal) And the Morxchn's are cast aluminum just like Crays and many other aftermarket manufacturers.

Default OE Wheels of sarasota

I received the wheels today. The quality of their finish is great. They look like they cost 4000 not 600. They are very light weight, I have not weighed them though.
I would still like a chrome center on this black wheel to match the stainless rim but they appear to be a different size from my OEM's. I will use chrome lugs to offset the rim instead.

Default photos

I won't get them mounted up on my stock tires until warmer weather. And it would seem from my posting that there is little interest in these wheels from forum members. I guess I am posting this in case a search is performed at a later date. OE Wheels in my opinion would seem to be a good company to deal with. Great price and fast shipping.
I will post photos when I can get them mounted. I have put the thin matt black hood stripes on each side of the hoods center hump. My top is black, the interior is Cashmere and black and now the wheels will tie in with the other black accents.

Most people probably have no idea what your wheels look like. I know I don't. Therefore, little interest.

Photos ALWAYS get more comments. They don't have to be mounted to show photos of your wheels.

Exhibit A: (my new wheels, not yet mounted)

Yep, those look really nice. I would consider those based on how they look. What do a set of those run? Link to where you got them?

Thx.
