Which company makes better chrome Z06 wheels, O.E. Concepts or Factory Reproductions?

 

You'd be hard pressed to see a difference if they were sitting right next to each other.

AFS definetly. I've had mine for over 4 years and it has not chipped yet! Check E-bay.

 

i got me a set of chrome z06 from oe concepts and never had a problem and thay look the same as the stock z06 rims but thay are in chrome

 

I got mine from AFS and I could not believe the quality of these wheels. Great wheels for the price.

 

i just got a set from o e wheels and they look awesome. i went with the 18/17 setup wrapped in firestone firehawks. i live like 45 mins away so i picked um up.

17x9.5 up front and 18x10.5 in back
275/40/17's and 295/35/18's it cost me $1380 out the door w/chrome locks, lugs, centercaps, chrome valvestems and caps mounted and balanced

 

I got mine off eBay from Lakeshore. They are "top line" stickered, a knock off brand may well be the same as oe.

I would not recommend them if you are ever around salt. Mine sat in carport all winter and I have some pretty significant pitting that took a lot of work to clean up. And that's with a fresh coat of wax before winter and never driving - only parked all winter.

Can't speak for the others, but OE, AFS, and lakeshore seem to be the big ebay players, so I thought I'd chime in.

 

you can buy the OEMs Z06 wheels for about 400/wheel

call Dallas Slabaugh, he will hook you up if interested

their prices are about the same as Dal's
