Default Wheel Replicas

Heres the deal. I love the look of the double five spoke Corvette Rims and have been looking for a good set. I originally looked on eBay but there are just too many scams and you never really know what you are going to get so I found Wheel Replicas. I know this topic has probably been beat to death here but after using the search I could not find an answer to my question. I am just wondering if anyone has had experience with the company Wheel Replicas. The wheels are only 389 for a set of four 17 x 9.5's which will fit right on right? here is the link http://www.wheelreplicas.com/z06.html . Any input would be great. Thanks.

dont know about that company. I went with OE Wheel Distributors on eBay and had a great experience with them twice. I bought my old mustang Cobra R wheels from them and the current black z06 wheels I have now.

A good source to look for Corvette wheels is the Corvetteforum.comunder the "Parts For Sale/Wanted" section under the specified generation.

The wheels on discount tire are the same price for 2 as the others were for all 4 so I don't think I am going to go that route. I also need a good tire that won't kill me on price. But will the wheels fit directly on or do I need anything else besides maybe new lugs?

have you had ANY problems with the rims from OE Wheels. I am close to buying a set of 17x9.5" Chrome Z06 replicas for my 1998 RS. I want to know if im going to need to change more than the rims on my car. do they fit properly into your wheelwell or do they stickout more because the offset?

I have the Corvette C6 chrome replicas on my 97 Z28. Size is 17 x 9.5, running 275/40/17. They fit perfectly, no problems at all. They do stick out farther then stock of course, but not past the wheel wells. It fills them up nicely, and they look really mean. In fact, you can look at the pics of my car on here and see for yourself. Just use the search, and look for "pics of myCamaro" that have my name on the thread.

Holy 1 Year old thread batman!

To answer your question, I didn't get mine from the "OE Wheels" dealer, but they're the same brand (OE Concepts) and I have had no issues with them, look great and they roll, what more do I need?
