YearOne vs OER Snowflake Wheels
I seem to be coming across two different manufacturers of reproduction 15x8 gold snowflake wheels: YearOne and OER. YearOne claims a backspacing of 4.5" (0 offset), while OER claims 4.25" (-6mm offset). It's really difficult to tell which ones some resellers carry. Ames doesn't mention brand, but they claim theirs have a 4.25" backspacing, so I assume they're OER. Summit clearly lists theirs as OER. Jegs clearly lists theirs as YearOne. Other sellers don't always list the specs or the manufacturer.
From what I can tell, the OERs cost like $100 less (on average) for a set of 4.
Does anyone have any experience with either of these reproductions? Is there a preference? I'm more inclined to trust Ames' judgment when it comes to part quality, so if they chose OER as their supplier, then that's likely what I'd buy. But I'd love to hear about other people's experiences.
