Although everyone and their mother runs those on Camaros, it's for a reason...They look damn good. GM got it right when they made those up.
The price for a used set of OEM C5 Z06 wheels is usually what you can get a set of brand new replicas for. Just up to you on what you want. And with the aftermarkets you have color options. Sure there are people that sell them powdercoated or painted, or you could do it yourself, but that's more $$$ of course.

I think the OEMs are lighter, and of course dont have the rivets around the rim.
I went with OEM (not these) because they were lighter and I want to stick with as many OEM parts as possible.

i dont really like the rivets on the replicas....on the OEM Z06 wheels u can actually notice a small lip on the rear wheels since they are wider...just my .02 tho
