It's hard to trust 4 wheels that cost as much as one of the real wheels anyway. If it's too good to be true usually it's because it's not.

How can you have "factory reproductions" when the GM contracted factory is making "real" ones everyday?

I guess this company was making cast look a likes. I believe it's the same company that makes the srt8 rims for cheap in various sizes. But anyhow I saved there phone number so I'm gonna give them call. It appeared as if they where already made and about to come into production

I don't know. All I know is that I would feel safer with a genuine GM wheel than a knock off.
