Default ebay rims - how safe


Im looking at a set of replica corvette rims on ebay. The seller is OE Wheels. I was wondering if by any chance someone has infact ordered a set of rims from this seller.

thanks

I got a set about 6 months ago. I think they were $500 for the set, for 17" chrome C6 replica wheels. I LOVE them, and they look great on my 97 Z28. I get a lot of compliments on them. If that's the style of wheel I wanted, I wouldn't hesitate, as most wheels you buy are replicas, unless of course you pay an outrageous price and get them from the dealer.

so you got your set of C6 replicas off OE wheels? or another seller?
what else did u need to get the rims on your car? even any spacers? or were they really ready to go on your car?

ive bought 2 sets of wheels from them. i love that company. cheap, fast, and good quality IMO. i got the black z06 wheels i have on now from them, and i got some cobra replicas for my old mustang back in the day.

No you dont need spacers, they bolt up fine. They are wider, and that just makes them look meaner.

I think thats the company I bought some tsw's for my mustang from. they were hyper black with polished lips and they look sick. I only paid $500 or so for the set, and they could easilly pass for $1000 wheels. they were 18's, fronts are 8.5 and rears are 9.5 with a 20mm offset so they stick out a bit and give it a nice wide stance.

had the wheels for about a year, gone through snow and drive regularly on a dirt road (to go to work) and they are still in mint condition. ebay is the only place I'd buy wheels from.

also bought my tires on ebay from a different seller and they seem to be nice quality for the price as well. forgot the brand, but they look just like toyo proxies but the set of 275's only set me back about $400
