I have purchased two sets of wheels from OE and have never had any issues. As with many places of business you are going to get people who like the company and people who do not. I think most of the people on here that have purchased wheels from OE will agree that the prices and quality are great.

Were the reviews you read about OE Concepts wheels, or wheels from OE Wheels LLC?

Ive ordered 2 sets of wheels from OE Wheels, both before they became sponsors here.. Although i no longer own 1 set, my set of gloss black C6Zs are still beautiful, after more than a year and a half of daily driving.

No problems at all. However, having OE mount/balance new tires might be the best option. That way, if anything happens to the wheel during installation, they can resolve it right there.

You can then sell your current wheels with the tires and easily recoup your cost for the new rubber. Trying to sell just wheels is difficult. Besides, you'll pay twice - once to remove the old tire, and again to have it remounted. I'd rather use the $150 towards new rubber.

I found these guys on google, showed my friend and he bought some wheels from them.

Quality was great, they came fast and seem to be holding up well so far and they've responded promptly to any questions I've asked them.

I plan on buying from them sometime if I can ever get some funds for a wheels and tires package.
