Will ZR1 replica look the same as factory?

One of my wheels is bent, which is causing a nasty vibration in the steering wheel. I swapped it to the back wheel for now so it's not felt as much through the steering, and I'm thinking about just getting a new one off of Ebay since it also has a small crack.

If I replace only one of my wheels with a replica, will it stand out, or pretty much match the rest of them? Will there be any variation in the "shade" of chrome?

I had chrome replica C5 Corvette wheels on my Z28, I couldn't tell the difference... Only the Corvette logo wasn't painted, but it was there.

Thanks.

Has anyone else replaced only one wheel? What I'm trying to find out is if you would be able to tell that one was replaced or will they basically match the other 3 perfectly?

I had an 80 323 BMW that had 2 out of round wheels that would do what you described. $120 got both fixed. Cheaper than buying a single BBS wheel. They weren't chrome though, but it may be worth checking on.
