What's the difference, other than price, between the OE Concepts and the Factory Reproductions?

I have the Factory Reproduction ones.

difference between the OE and the factory reproductions i was told when i called Tomz was that the Factory reproductions bolts/rivets are countersunk deeper in the rim...also the Factory Reproductions spokes are a little different i believe

Aren't factory ZO6 wheels magnesium? and the repros are aluminum?

But any ways really nice wheels.

The ups guy stops by my house often too I love the sound of that truck.
