Default Tomzwheels come from OE wheels llc?

Was a former sponsor and put off his business iirc for health reasons. I got some wheels from him a few years ago and need to replace two of them (c5 z06) and just want to make sure there isn't going to be some goofy issue with how they look vs the other two wheels. After digging I imagine this is where he was getting the wheels from. Can anyone possibly confirm or deny this pelase?

I'm not sure how long OE wheels has been around, but I don't think they were even around when Tomzwheels was around.

Will snag up two wheels from OE and hope they match up with the other two, or at least close enough that I don't notice! Thanks for the replies!

Yep Factory Reproductions and you can find them on the net. I also used OE and they are pretty nice as well, but you have to watch the paint on them. I wanna say the Factory Reprductions are Powdercoat as well. At least they looked that much better in my experience. This was over 3 years ago though.

^I dont think factory reproductions is powder coated. In my experience their the same quality of OEwheels. Just affordable cast replicas..

I bought Chrome ZR-1 wheels from TomZWheels and they were OE Concept wheels, which I believe are different from OEWheels. I just purchased two 17x11 rear wheels from OEwheels and they matched the front wheels perfect.

just to clarify for everyone. Tomzwheels did not get there wheels from us. we have been around for 12 years but never sold to them. all our wheels are powdercoated not painted. also we manufacture our own wheels we do not buy them from a third party. :

Yeah, as far as I remember TomZ offered the black ZR1s from Factory Reproductions and OE concepts.
