Default Bought some wheels from Tomz

Guys and Gals, give me your opinions. I thought I was buying some OE Concepts ZR1 17x11 but they are on backorder for a month. They offered a different ZR1 made by Factory Reproductions. I looked at the links to the pictures of the wheels and can't tell a difference other than the warranty is better than OE. 2 years instead of 1 year. Send your opinions or knowledge. They will not ship until tomorrow so I can still change my mind.

One Chinese rim probably is no better or worse than the other Chinese rim...I have OE Concepts polished Zr1's as my "regular" wheels, and they're surely no better than anyone else's...
