I know you stated OEM, but I bought my replicas (can't find anything wrong with them at all) off of ebay. One of the sponsors on here, fast toys (www.fasttoys.net), has the replicas for about 5 bucks more than I paid. Not sure about the best price on OEM though.

OEM Corvette wheels offsets do not work well on Camaros, but the replicas do. You want an offset as close to 50 mm as possible.

They will work fine. I have OEM GM ones. In the back you realy need a small spacer and to do the BFH mod. I'm not running a spacer now, but I'm thinking about it.

I weighed mine on my bathroom scale and they were around 24-25lbs each I think. That's inline or lower than any of the OEM wheels I've seen like the Y2K's or ZR1's.

Bought the wheels on wheelreplicas.com
