Exclamation Oe/wheels awsome quality !!!!

Hey Guyz,

Just sharing my experince with my OEWHEEL'S C6 Z07 style 17x9.5 front & 18x10.5 rear = 597$ + 550$ shipping = around 1200$ to Bahrain with the lugnuts.

Scott was great with his help through the phone service & the rims are a 5 star's =) check em 295/45/18 Nitto


NEED TO MENTION A COUPLE OF THING'S THOUGH.

1.The wheels have the stupid MADE IN CHINA STICKER
2.I recived 1 of the front 17" rim without the rivit's !!!!!!! I HAD TO PAY AROUND 290$ AGAIN TO RECIVE THE WHEEL.

TRUE I PAID AROUND 1600$ FOR THE RIMS & LUGNUT'S WITH NO TIRES (SUCKER) But oewheels have to consider DOUBLE CHECKING THERE SHIPPMENT'S BEFORE SENDING EM OUT !!

will i buy from em again 100% yes.

We offered to pick up the wheel at the location we shipped it to which was NY with no problem. Then we found out the customer shipped them to Bahrain.

I call bullshit. Unless yourfriend had other mod's done and that zr1 tire was significantly holding them back and this person went to the track for the first time sine those mod's with a good drag radial or slick.

Cause folks, no drag radial or slick alone is giving you 6 tenths of a second in the quarter. There are WAY OTHER factors to go along with this story.

A converter gives you 6 tenths, nitrous gives you six tenths, nitrous and a pair of clicks will give you 7-8 tenths.. they way this guy tells the story, his tires have him 8 tenths.

No no, he's saying he picked up 6 tenths with different WHEELS, lol! I'm going to have to agree and call bullshit on this. No way could the weight difference have been that much to net a difference of 6 tenths. OP, sorry for the thread hijack.

I just placed an order for some DD Black ZR1's 17x11, 17x9.5. I gotta say their customer service has been excellent. I also ordered some black lug nuts with the order.

Unfortunately they told me that they are currently out of the 17x11's. They told me it would be 5-6 weeks for them to get more. However, they threw in my lug nuts for free, so I am happy.

Thanks Scott for all your help.
OE Wheels is truly a great company to deal with.
