Does anyone have any sort of Replica wheel from like AAA or Tire Rack? Are they any good, or are OEM better?

if OEM has the size you want I would go with that, there easier to balance, fit perfect and are the best quality, otherwise, dont pay too much for replicas

I was looking at the c5 Wheels on AAA..I wonder if they will last..

I've never had a problem with AFS wheels.

I had AAA rims, nice quality. Never had any issues.

AAA and Afs arent site sponsors. We stand behind the quality of all of the replica wheels we sell with structural, and finish warranties

VoodooWS6

Thanks Todd, I will check into your wheels!

I have two AAA ws6 wheels that I mounted a set of drag radials on. They are better quality than the oem wheels. My OEM wheels were pitted, tarnished from the factory. They just don't have "GM" cast into them.

I can certainly take that stick and beat them.

At least give the vendors (that keep this site alive) a chance to meet or beat these other internet warriors

I have a set of chrome Z06 replicas that I bought from Todd 6 months ago. While thats not a very long time as of yet, the wheels still look brand new. He hooked me up with a set of Yokohama tires as well. Can't complain at all about the products nor the service. Give him a chance, he will hook you up.

I have the ZR1 AFS wheels (17X11 & 17X9.5). They're at least as high quality as OEM, only thing is, they sent them to me with one of the directional tires mounted the wrong way. Kind of a problem. Other than that, no complaints.

I would say that AFS is probably the better of the American-made knock offs. Detroit, Replica, and OE Concepts are all more or less the same imports. I'm going with Replica's from Todd@DTD myself.

VoodooWS6

Todd, do your replica wheels have clear coat on them? Also they are made from aluminum right? I have heard about some being made of steel when you get them!!

I don't have replica's but I figured I would chime in about the OEM's. My car has roughly 20K on it - has barely ever seen rain and my wheels are pitted and flaking in a few spots. I am a FIRM believer that the replicas have a MUCH BETTER finish.

I have a set of AAA Z06's. No problems at all and the quality seems to be pretty darn good compared to other chrome rims I've seen (But then I take really good care of my car).

Hey if you can beat just over 400 bucks for 4 nonblemished perfect chrome 17x11, and 17x9.5 zr1's to my door for $435.00 with the same quality as the previous zr1's I have recieved from Afs i will order a set right now and see how long it takes me to bend the **** out of them. Second of all I do my part and work with many vendors on this site. Namely LS1speed and QMP,
just because your a vendor doesnt mean you have proven to me that your product and customer service is top notch so keep your stick
