Ebay wheels

[02 super sport]

Has anybody here bought wheels from OEwheels off ebay, if so are they good quality and have you had any problems with them? Thanks

[jwindbigler]

yes i have bought them. mine look great. im getting them powder coated in black this week. they are light, and im sure that they are the OEM wheel. dont be fooled by the imitations. if they are any color but the stock colors (chrome, and silver) or they are different sizes, they are rip offs and they weigh an extra 10lbs. too much drivetrain loss. what rims are you looking at?

I got mine from there. no problems, except for the slow shipping. Good price, perfect fit. Here is a pic of them on my car. Black ZR1's

I looking at the Z06 style wheels in black. I'm staying with the stock 17x9.5.

[jwindbigler]

if you are buying them black on ebay, keep in mind that they are going to be heavier than the stock OEM rim. what year of Z06 are you talking about?

[02 super sport]

C5 Z06 style. I called them yesterday and they said that their the same weight as stock, minus the powdercoat.

did they give you a number on how much they weigh? hopefully the guy isnt trying to cheat you. just be careful. but they will look pretty badass on a pewter camaro SS. ive got a 99 T/A that im putting powdercoated black C6 rims on. by the way, what tire are you going to be running on those?

There quality is very good, had real good luck with there wheels

I was going to put either g-force sports or nitto 555's. Would mount some et streets on the stock wheels.
