OE Wheels LLC?
 
Hey all,
Has anyone ordered from OE Wheels on Ebay? If so, how's the quality, and how are they holding up? I'm thinking about picking up a set of replica wheels for my G. They have a gazillion sets of rep. wheels for F-bodies, so I figure someone here must have bought from them before.

Thanks in advance!

Try OEWheelsLLC.com as well, their regular
website.

Have a set of 17x9/17x11 Chrome ZR1's, seem fine so far! Chrome is clean/clear and wheels balanced fine.

What wheels were you looking at for your G, Steve? All I see is coupe wheels listed online?

I have had my c6 zo6 wheels in black for a few years now, they look good still. Some neglect on my part has led to light scratching in the surface of the paint but they still look great when you clean them up. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again. The lug nuts they sold to me did rust up when the car sat for a few months. Also, they took a good amount of weight to balance and are pretty freakin heavy.

Thanks for the good reviews guys! I think drmrman has 'em on his C4 Vette, maybe he'll chime in here.

I'm looking at their coupe replicas. I can do 18x8 all around and swap over my current TPMS sensors (or get new ones). Here's a pic of the ones I was thinking -

The gray centers should be a pretty nice match to my car -

I think that would look pretty sweet. However the website says they're out of stock :wink:

[edit] I just asked Joe and he said he bought them aftermarket but he thinks the fronts are GM factory because they are stamped

Bought my ZR1 reps form them 5 years ago, can't complain. The powder coating's pretty strong, just a little oxidation where the clear came off, and a tad on the heavy side compared to factory, but I would buy again from them if they have what I'm looking for.

If I may make a slight suggestion though, buy better lugs, and better tire valves.

Yeah, I have to check and confirm with them - I saw the site says out of stock, but their Ebay auction says they have multiple sets left. I gotta find out what the dealio is before I BIN on Ebay. :)

Stampings do not necessarily mean anything. Chinese knockoffs are known to replicate EVERYTHING.

No BS:

I had a crate of "grade 8" Chinese bolts at work years ago that spec'd out as ungraded. Turns out the asian factory thought the bolt heads had "designs" on them and didn't know about bolt ratings.

If it has the GM markings and the weight seems OEM then they might be real.

Bought two sets of wheels through them, my ZO6's & my old ZR1's great quality can't complain

MyFirstZ 12-21-2011 02:44 PM

I have bought two sets as well from them. Packing was excellent. Had two boxes, dust covers, cardboard cutouts to stop wheel from moving and rim guards. One set on my old camaro and one on my current. Relatively quick shipping to for a full set of wheels

Fast92RS 12-21-2011 05:21 PM

I had a set of Z06 wheels from them. They were pretty good.

They would look good. I like the newer GXS wheels myself :)
