Default ZR-1 wheels

I'm thinking of trying a different set-up, and at least for starters, would like to do it "on the cheap". The ZR-1 wheels seem to be the least expensive 17" rims out there. However, you always have to be careful where you shop.

I"ve seen AFS, PWO, Detroit Replica, and a couple of others. I find it hard to believe that there are dozens of companies making these wheels, so my guess is that there are maybe 1-2 actual manufacturers, and a bunch of retailers. My question, then, is who makes/sells the best of the bunch?

Thanks in advance...

Hey man where are you located? I'm selling my Z without my ZR1's and may be getting a 96 SS that already has them on it so there is a good chance that I will be selling mine. I got mine last summer and put maybe 500 miles max on them before I put the car away when I came down to school. Let me know if you are interested in them. They are 17x9.5's all the way around with BFG KDW 275/40/17's with like new tread on them. Let me know either way, could save a couple hundred that way. Thanks.

Idk SLP? Mine are OE Concepts. I know there is a slight difference between the replicas and the ones that come on the SS's but it is barely noticable at all. Like the place where the spokes meet the lip are more pointed on one and rounded on another, idk.
