i am looking at some corvette c6 rims that are knock-off replica rims of them not the ones made by GM they are chrome and made of steel. Are these rims good quality or should i just get some made by gm that are aluminum that are not chrome?
thanks
 
I bought a set of replica Z06 wheels a few years ago and the finish was okay, but they are MUCH heavier than stock.
Unsprung weight and rotating mass are performance killers.

Try to buy some take-offs.

Look in the for sale sections at www.corvetteforum.com
 
all wheels sold in the U.S. must meet D.O.T. standards but, the chrome ones will eventually rust. I would buy the alluminum they are lighter and have less maintenance.
 
They are crap..

I have a friend who bought some on ebay allegedly made in the same factory as the OEM ones..

They lasted about 6 months, began to chip on the outside and then began to warp..He ended up trashing them

Save your money or buy used ones somewhere..
