Looking for OEM wheels 91 Z28, any good experiences

Looking to purchase some OEM refurbished wheels for a 91 Z28. I have been looking at to sellers. Young's F=bodies and Detroit Wheels. They are selling for 800-900 for 4 wheels. They say they are like new. Not able to go and see the wheels. Has anyone had any experience purchasing these? Curious as to what the quality might be???

I would suggest doing a search for Young's F-Body before doing any business with them. (Hint, search for Young in the Aftermarket Vendor forum)

Re: Looking for OEM wheels 91 Z28, any good experiences

i read on a post/thread here that Boyd Codington was making the oem style wheel in a 17 inch size, it was still a prototype last I heard. Not sure if you wanted all stock or if aftermarket is what you would like but maybee his wheels would be an option for you (when and if they make it into production). I want to say that the post about them was in the brake board but not 100% on that. I discovered the tread because I was looking to upgrade my brakes but having a hard time finding a wheel that would fit a aftermarket big brake kit, this wheel would be a great solution to brake upgrades while retaining stock look.
