So I am looking at all the choices on new wheels for the Z, and I keep coming across one thing that I just don't understand.
What is the difference - physically - between reproduction wheels and OEM? Clearly one is made by the supplier, and one is made by someone else, but is there any downside to the Repo?
Is it made to the same specifications and tolerances as the original wheels with the only difference being the stamp on the made by line?
Obviously suppliers can't sell equipment, especially wheels, that do not hold up well, but I am still curious to the point of nervousness about this.
Anything to help me get a grasp on the difference would be appreciated.
