Default Deal Tooo Good to be True?

I was glancing around on ebay for a set of wheel and tires for my 02 Trans Am and came across these.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-Bl...item3efa726068

100$ shipped for a brand new ZO6 rim, thats powder-coated none-the-less. Has anyone had dealings with them? Is that not a too good to be true price on those wheels?

You know how the saying goes... if it looks too good to be true it must be. Yet they have a 99.1% positive feedback rating.

Sounds about right for a damaged repro wheel...

The "deep scratch on the lip" doesnt sound too promising. You can get a set from OE for about $500

Check out OE Wheels, both here and on ebay, they have great prices on their wheels.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I went to their website and these wheels are running 180 not including shipping. I looked on ebay but couldn't find a deal anywhere NEAR 500$ for 4 of them shipped. I would pay 500$ for 4 of them shipped if they were in great condition but no more than that.

This is the same place that i got my DD ZR1's from. I got 3 of my ZR1's in 3 different auctions from them for $56 each!!! they never listed a 4th wheel, i waited for almost 2 months so i ended up ordering it from OE Wheels. All were brand new in the box.

Just message them on ebay or here and ask to swap out the front 17's for 18's. Might be a little more

Look on craigslist. I got mine for $170 for all 4. few scratches. not bad enough to make me wanna spend an extra 3 or $400 tho.

17x9.5 front and 18x10.5 rear

Affordable rims is a seperate part of our company. they sell our returns and or scratch and dents.
they only have one of those wheels right now.
I can get you a quote on a new set. What size's are you looking for?
