Default AFS or OE Wheels..?

Afs and Oe seems to have a good deal on chrome ZO6 wheels, Which company has better quality and durability.? Im thinking of getting a set of 17/18 zo6 wheels. I was leaning more on afs but on the item description they said it may have some minor blemishes not mentioned, Is that a big deal or what? Any inputs about the two companies..?

AFS. Don't get the OE wheels. The tire shop had to put about 10 weights on my wheels to get them balanced. There is a reason they're so cheap- because they're cheaply made. Spend the extra couple hundred bucks.

Actually, AFS is selling 17/18 combo a little cheaper than OE on their ebay site. Are the afs wheels they're selling on ebay worth it..? The only thing i like about the OE wheels is that they dont have the blemish that afs described.

I have the 18x9.5 AFS chrome Z06's and love them. They are very shiny, smooth, and durable.
