Well I looked further into OE and Discount Tire; turns out the only difference between the pair is that the DT wheels are painted while the OE are powdercoated/cleared.
This is the dealbreaker since I can't have them powdercoated clear since I plan on painting the polished lip to match my car color to make a low key break between the tire and wheel. Luckily both come with blank center caps painted to match so I can install the graphic on the caps with little trouble.
Also, it appears that the latter (Discount Tire) has several local shops that can handle fubar'd wheels should anything happen. They also have warranties similar to tirerack so I could just have a local swap done on the fly.
And a real clincher: I may have a buddy at a michigan location that could hook me up with a discount.
