Also, the satin wheels look more sinister.

Above are my recently purchased ZL1's that I got from a a member here for $2500 shipped. It does appear that the OEM ZL1 wheels are made in Alcola as stamped inside the barrel. While I do agree that the finish on the OEM's are not perfect (mine are good except directly behind the spokes have a lot less paint, which really only can be noticed while cleaning), they are really true. My wheels called for very little weight to balance and all the weight applied was directly behind the "CAMARO" engraving. This tells me that the only weight needed really was to compensate for that material loss. The OEM's seem to be high quality wheels as evident from my commets above and their weight...

I would choose the FR's over LG's all day if those were my only options. The fact that the LG's are engraved with their "signature" LG28 would be a deal breaker. Also the fact that the FR's are almost half the cost and come in multiple color optios make this wheel very attractice!

OP, you car looks awesome!!!
