Thats who i bought my ZR1's from and i had a great experience. In fact they showed up a day or 2 before i was expecting them. A buddy of mine also bought some FR500 Replicas from them for his cobra a while back, and he had no problems either.

they seem pretty good. however, ive had a few problems, i would still buy from them again.

first, i ordered my wheels, well, they didnt have them so they said they would get them in and ship them out in about 2 weeks. well 3 weeks later no wheels so i give them a call. Still didnt have the wheels in. While describing the wheels i had on order to make sure they found my order they figured out that they had the wrong ones on order, i even gave them a part number when i first called. but oh well, i waited 3 weeks even though i didnt need to, shit happens!.

next, i get the wheels in about a week later, really quick shipping! only problem is, 2 of them are damaged, they have pea sized dent/gouges on the outer lips.. fixable but would have to be ground down and welded.

So i spent today trying to call them and figure out what they need to do about replacing them.

i think i just caught some bad luck with them, they seem like a good company though.

however, you get what you pay for, these wheels are not the nicest, they are obviously from china and do have minor imperfections (even the ones that werent damaged).


i dont think they open their boxes before they ship, i think they get them pre-packed from china from the looks of it.

So i recommend asking them to check each wheel before shipment for any imperfections, to avoid future complications

I got the exact same wheels with tires yesterday. One wheel has a slight imperfection in the Powder Coating, but for 409 bucks i expected worse. I talked to Shawn @ O.E. and we set up a wheel and tire package. I got just regular old sumitomos 275 40 up front and 315 35 in the rear. I dont drive my car much (~2000 miles a year) so brand of rubber is not important. I have tires for the track if need be. O.E. was great to deal with and the wheels/tires arrived just like they said. One complaint is there is some soap on the rims due to the mounting of the tires, but it is all good, they need a wash and wax anyway. lol.

I bought some chrome ZR1's from them years back. 3 out of the 4 looked great but the 1 looked like it had a wavy finish. I called them up and they sent me a new one so all was well. A small inconvenience but I was a happy customer and would do business again.

Ordered a set of Black C6Zs (Pics here:Black C6Zs on Black WS.6 - Pics inside) and they look incredible. Also, ended up ordered a set of Silver C6 wheels with the machined lip, and they looked killer too. No problems, or issues with the wheels at all, and its been about a year with the black wheels.

to further elaborate, heres what i got in. now i have to put 300 in the bank to cover the new ones they are sending until they get the old ones, i dont normally have that kind of money to keep in limbo for a few weeks. but thats all i can do!

Heres pics: sorry for the bad quality cell phone pics.



i needed these wheels a week ago, so i could paint the lips black while my car is in paint. ugh.

well, it looks like im SOL.

i dont have 300 extra laying around to put into the bank for the deposit on the new wheels until they get the old ones back. so im basically screwed.

i had the rims fixed, it wasnt cheap, but i do not have 300 to be in limbo for 3-4 weeks.



i retract my previous statement, and i DO NOT, recommend ordering from these people. Get something american made thats not imported and made over there for 20 bucks a piece.

quality shows. Not just in the wheels, but in the company.
