It will come in a while...a company called Factory reproductions usually comes out with knockoffs. But watch their quality....I had to buy 6 wheels to get 4 good ones of the C6 Spider wheel design.

I was told by several people including Bob from House of Wheels that you will no longer see repro's due to the fact that GM has pattented all the new C7 wheel designs.

Finally! I have always wondered why they allowed counterfeits for all those years! That is really good news, because it will keep the resale value up.....true OEM wheels deserve that.
