I did the same researdch, and the Factory Reproductions (TomZ sells both) brand was the better option comparedc to the OE Concepts wheels. The warranty is better, they are ~2-3lbs lighter (per wheel), and the quality is better than the OE Concepts wheels, per people who have owned them. I got my Factory Reproductions wheels from Tom Z, and visually they are near perfect, very high quality looking wheels, no pitting of the chrome, no visual flaws. I'll post up when I get them mounted, he's going to spin them without tires first to see if they are out of round or badly unbalanced.....
