Default WHEELGUYZ & EVOS

I just got off the phone with wheelguyz about ordering some HP evos and they told me they dont make them in anything wider than a 8" lip in 17 or 18.Is that true? I did not get the most confident feeling from the rude guy on the phone.

Holy smokes dude, stay away from WheelGuyz...please!

I ordered some 18x9 evo's recently and after a month of no return phone calls, being continuously transferred, being hung up on, and lied to, I was finally told by a manager that they oversold the wheels after I threatened to cancel my order with my credit card. I decided to go for the 19x9.5's after this manager guy assured me that the 19's were in stock, and after he gave me a decent size discount. But, then when the wheels arrived, I had a scratch on the lip of one wheel, none of the wheels/tires were balanced, and no lug nuts were shipped. Now, I have to take the car and have the wheels removed and balanced, costing me even more $$.

Don't let their professional looking web site and nice phone recording fool you....

I get a feeling that places selling these rims are a little on the shady side.

This on ebay as we speak...

Whomever you buy from just make sure they are in stock and ready to be shipped.

Experienced the same thing when I ordered some wheels from them for my gf. I would definitely stay away from them.

Mine are 18x9 & I ordered them form wheelguyz. I had a smooth transaction & fast shipping I ordered them on sat & had them on wed. No scrathes or anything. I might do business with them again after reading all these post's about them but I have no complaints the 1st time I ordered from them
