This is a good thread because there are so many choices out there for manufacturers. Ebay is a hit or miss place to do business. A lot of good retailers on there but a lot of crooks too. And there are a LOT of similar looking wheels from different companies to choose from with price the apparent difference (until you discover your rim won't hold air or takes a huge amount of lead weight to balance or the finish flakes off at the car wash etc etc). I've been shopping for the perfect wheels for my car since I bought it in march of 16. I can finally afford to get them so I've waited a long time. Not wasting my hard earned money on junk. Nor do I want wheels that are on 6 other Camaros in town. My car was kind of a bucket list purchase (geezer alert) and there's not a lot of coin in the bottom of the bucket.

Sound thinking, I had an experience recently with the MMR 017 that kind of blew me away. I have bought five or six sets of wheels of the last couple years, all the way from a generic wheel for a friend to my $6000 Forgelines for my C7. I have never seen a wheel that did'nt take a small amount of weight to balance it. The new 017 is that I bought virtually took no weights on 2 of them , 2 took a 1/16th of an ounce. The installer said he'd seen that on all the 017's..... that's why you buy a good manufacturer...... |

Then I talked to Paul at PK design, I was assured that the 017 comes from a different source/plant, and flow forges it. That made all the difference. The 017 is stunning, especially when you get the optional powder coat clear for more gloss and protection. |

Freaking love that wheel design. ^^^
That's a 1le design replica right? So Mr 228 and 017 are both replicas of the 1le wheel design ? |
