Default "generic" wheels...

Has anybody ever bought "generic" brand wheels like these....

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MakeTrack=true

I'm wondering in quality, because they seem pretty cheap for 4 alloy Z06 style wheels.

They're not Z06 style wheels they are moreorless Saleen replicas. Much like my old Eagle Alloys.

I agree with Anthony, they're crap, even not being Z06 replicas.. that's just too cheap.
I personally wouldn't feel comfortable buying replica wheels of any kind from off ebay. I'd hate to take the chance of having them be junk when I could've gotten them for $400 more and had them be right.
Rule of thumb with eBay-- If it looks too good to be true... IT IS!

Look at their feedback and how long they've been a member and seller. I bought some replica wheels on ebay and I love them, they look great and they are very good quality and I got them for $500 shipped

Yeah, that was what I was thinking, too. Their feedback was pretty good, and nobody was complaining of having crappy quality wheels. But, it would definately be nice to see the wheels in person rather than relying on a picture.
