Default Rim Question

Looking for rims Z06 motorsport, anyone know the difference between the OE CONCEPTS brand and the FACTORY REPRODUCTIONS brand? Which is the better choice of the two, quality workmanship, warranty. looks rivets- plastic, metal or ceramic? Pros & cons.
thanks

Here is the link for Factory Reproductions warranty info... http://www.factoryreproductions.com/warranty.html

I think O.E. warranty is only for 1 year. Also I know you can order Factory Repo without rivets... don't think O.E. offers a non-rivet.

Hope this helps.

My motorports have screw-in individual removable rivets, and they are chromed metal. My motorsports are backed by 3 year chrome warranty.
I would be happy to send a picture so you could see the quality difference yourself.
All rims on sale let me qoute you a price.

Purchased a set of z06 rims from OE, Had multiple problems with them, two rims had bad wheel hops in rims. Customer service was unsatisfactory.....I would stay with Chruisin Chrome or House of Wheels, forum vendors
