    are replica corvette rims good quality?

    i am looking at some corvette c6 rims that are knock-off replica rims of them not the ones made by GM they are chrome and made of steel. Are these rims good quality or should i just get some made by gm that are aluminum that are not chrome?

    thanks

    I bought a set of replica Z06 wheels a few years ago and the finish was okay, but they are MUCH heavier than stock.
    Unsprung weight and rotating mass are performance killers.

    Try to buy some take-offs.

    Look in the for sale sections at www.corvetteforum.com

    all wheels sold in the U.S. must meet D.O.T. standards but, the chrome ones will eventually rust. I would buy the alluminum they are lighter and have less maintenance.

    They are crap..

    I have a friend who bought some on ebay allegedly made in the same factory as the OEM ones..

    They lasted about 6 months, began to chip on the outside and then began to warp..He ended up trashing them

    Save your money or buy used ones somewhere..
