C5 Replica wheels by Detroit Wheel... any good???

Monk · 09-15-2002, 09:34 PM

I am considering the purchase of a set of 2000-2002 C5 chrome replica wheels for my 1998 C5 Coupe. I am a bit frustrated by all the mystery about who sells which wheel manufacturer's products... and how the different manufacturers (8 or 9 of them from what I can tell) compare in terms of strength, quality and finish. I am specifically interested in a set made by Detroit Wheel. Anyone know if they are any good???

Good question!
I am also interested in the quality difference in the various wheel manufactures.
Can anyone shed some light?

I did eventually buy those Detroit Wheels brand chrome replicas. Sadly, I have been too dang busy to even take them out of the box for a close examination. They aren't going on the car until spring, so I won't be able to give you a full report until then, but I'll at least let you know my first impressions later this week.
