I've had 2 different sets on my Vette and no complaints. They are a little heavier, but you cannot beat the price and bang for the buck factor. Also the chrome finish is better than GMs.

The GM 1LE, ZL1 and Z/28 rims are FORGED and are therefore lighter AND twice as expensive to manufacture. The aftermarket clones are CAST and therefore weigh similar to the regular SS rims.

Also, all of these clones are manufactured in China, which means a non-NAFTA duty may apply.
