He claims they are OE, but I bet they are aftermarket replicas. He says they are NEW, but are they BRAND NEW?? Looks like a good deal to me, but you always take a risk. Not sure.

In the auction it says that they are replicas. Not that familiar with prices for those wheels, but they are replicas.

I was looking at their other wheels such as the polished Zr1's and are pretty cheap but how are the quality? I wanted to replace my stock SS 10 spokes for the Zr1's but I noticed that OE offers only 17 x 9.5. Would they be heavier than the orginal Zr1 wheels on the previous LS1 SS?

Are they unappealing? I was thinking of the chromes but aren't they heavy from what I hear?

I've heard good things about that seller and their wheels. I was going to buy from them but they didn't have the offset that I needed. Polished wheels are harder to keep up than chrome. Just depends on how much time you want to spend on the polished ones. I thought about it a long time and read alot of post and went with chrome.
