Default Reproduction polished y2k thin spokes?

I haven't had much luck in my search for a nice set of original polished thin spokes……I am waiting on photos and pricing on a set of original magnesium wheels but am also considering reproduction thin spokes. I found this set at "OE Wheels LLC", but their bad customer service history has me a bit gun shy, so I'm looking at other options. I am only interested in polished wheels……any suggestions on reproduction polished thin spokes or ZR1 wheels??

Thanks

I have not seen reproduction thin spokes that are polished, only chromed and then not the barrel of the wheel. I have a set of polished thin spokes but all four are 18x9.5 (the stock rear wheel with a 65mm offset) that I have been running on my 2000 coupe. I have 275x35x18 up front and 295x35x18 on the rear. No rubbing and they fit flush to the edge of the fenders. I just had them recently striped of the clearcoat and repolished but not re-clearcoated.

Just in case anyone wants to know, these are the polished thin spoke reproductions I mentioned above.

Nothing some good old elbow grease can't fix and you will save some bucks to spend elsewhere on your ride. Nothing like the feel of working on your ride, free therapy!
