Default OE wheel quality

Just curious of any members experience with OE Wheels and their quality. Thinking of buying set of ZR1 17". Price sounds too good to be true!

the quilty is great , the only problem is that there lil bit on the heavy side as any replica wheel will be.
i love my wheels, i hate the weight but im also not going to drop 2k+ on a set of aftermarket 2 or 3 piece wheels

I bought two chrome 17x11's to go with my factory 17x9 I got on the car from SLP when it was ordered. No problems with the wheels mechanically. I have a bit of a blemish on one where the chrome didn't take. Hasn't gotten any worse over the last 10mo, and doesn't bother me enough to mess with having them fix it under warranty. I would buy from them again.

Great quality wheels. Had a set on my old Camaro. Chrome started peeling after 4 years and NE roads. I drove it alot in the winter when snow wasnt on the road so that didnt help the cause. Would buy from them again for sure.
