Default Anybody bought wheels from aaarims.com?

Just wondering if anybody here has bought rims from that site? I found the wheels I want shipped for a smidge over $800. Any experience you can share that you had with them good or bad would be greatly appreciated.

I got my chrome ZR-1s from them. The quality seems good. Good service, and as stated previously, quick turnaround.

Speaking of that.

I purchased two replica ZR1 rims when I had that style from Discount Tire Direct and I was more than content with the purchase and shipping time. Everything went as expected.

They're good guys.

Todd,

I was just scanning over your site to see what you guys have and I could not find any WS6 style wheels period? I did a search for 2000 Firebird 17" wheel and found only ZO6, ZR1, and some aftermarket looking stuff.

Just wondering if I missed them somewhere? It'd be nice to find another place that sells the chrome/polished/painted WS6 wheels because if AAA ever stops carrying them I can't find anyone else that does?

Can you guys get replica wheels not listed on your site by special request? I don't need any at the moment, but it would be good info for future referance...

Todd, while I do appreciate every sponser on here. With out you guys I wouldnt have this place. And I do buy my Nittos from discount tire. My one concern is that your ZR1 wheels(2 17X9.5 and 2 17X11) go for $794 plus tax as I have a discount tire store in my state so I will have to pay sales tax. If I buy a set of ZR1s from aaarims.com same sizes I will pay $695 including shipping and no sales tax. Im not trying to be a jerk or anything but what can you offer me, or compel me to buy from you? Not interested in financing as such a small purchase would be done cash/debit.

well...I always want you guys to give me a chance to price match if possible. Its worth a shot right??

I would not charge you tax in IL. I only have to charge in states where I have a warehouse. Stores dont count.
