Default Stay away from OE WHEELS

just bought my second set from them, new c6 wheels, rude sales people, got them in 2 were perfect, one other had a bubble in the chrome, and the other had alot of pits in the rim and they just chromed over, and for almost $800 i wasnt having it, so i called and told them they gave me the huh never had a problem you are the first routine, so i bought 2 more while i shipped these blems back and the new ones were hand checked.....ya one was ok the other had a spot where it looked like they had used touch up chrome, so i called and he told me that no way it took them 6 sets to get those 2 and there was nothing wrong with them what dose that say 6 sets to still have a defect, so i said i must really not be seeing this then, hes said " thats the best your gonna get" so i told hime the next time i needed new rims ill go to a junk yard and for him to go **** himself.... i got a good set now i had to get one somewhere else, i called the owner and he said the same stuff and that i was to picticluar i said for $800 i dont want blems and them he evern told me the orignal 2 i sent back had nothing wrong with them, i said what about the pics i have in front of me, i was to picky. so at all costs avoid this company rude and quality sucks, first set i bought was ok, but if you dont want to play games dont go here... byer beware.. "end rant"

I got my ZR1's from them and then one rim had a wavy finish in the chrome so I sent it back and they gave me another one which was perfect with no problems but stupid to have to deal with I suppose.

You wouldn't happen to be talking about OE Concepts, would you? I am worried too because I'm looking at getting a set of replica ZR1 wheels from OE Concepts.

OE WHEELS is a Ebay based company that sells replicas out of Sarasota FL. Ive heard both good/bad about them. Cheapest wheels/rims ive found around, but ive also heard they have bad Customer Service.

OE Wheels? Is this the same as OE Wheel Distributors? If so, I know exactly what you're talking about. Search under my name for posts about them and you'll know what kind of shitty service they gave me too.

I had to threaten to sue them and involve several different complaint companies before they finally gave in.
