Same thing happened to me with them on a pair of z06 c6wheels. They said in stock so i ordered them then they told me they were out of stock so i changed my order to dd zr1s and it turned out they were out of stock too. I ended up waiting about two months for the zr1s and then decided to get a refund, I found them somewhere else.

We did not close. we are having phone problems today, not sure when they will be back up and running as its with the telephone company.

As far as the out of stock issues go, that is because of an inventory coding part error when the orders were placed. another words we didnt get what we ordered and it affected just corvette wheels. we are working as fast as we can to get the issue resolved. We should see all of our out of stock corvette wheels back in stock around late May to mid June. You can send our sales dept an email as that is currently working just fine.

sales@oewheels.net

sorry for any inconvenience.

Ok, so I spoke with Leo at oe. Basically they was short one wheel on my order of black c5's 18x9.5 so he checked inventory and found a set of chrome 18x10.5 &18x9.5 c6 z06 rims and is giving them to me for the same price. That is awesome!! I definitely will do business with them again. They are supposed to get them out today express shipping. Will post up pics this weekend

They must sell a good product at a great price since they are out-of-stock on most setups prior to the spring/summer car season.

This time of year is insane with everyone getting tax refunds. we are working very hard to get the inventory back in stock as quickly as we can.

For an SS lowered on Strano springs, what is the recommended tire sizes for the 18x9.5/18x10.5?

My first guess from looking at setups is 275/35/18 and 295/35/18.

My worry with this tire setup is that the 295/35/18 will not be wide enough and ultimately look stretched on the rear wheel. I don't mind the front tires not having any bulge over the wheel lip, but the rear tires should show at least some minimal bulge over the lip of the wheel.

Post some more pics man!

That's almost exactly the setup I want. I thought 245's were too narrow for a 9.5" rim though. I was looking at the 18x8.5" for the fronts...

245's will fit a 9.5" rim. I'll get some good pics up this weekend once I get the car cleaned,still filthy from sitting in my garage all winter.

I thought I saw a pic around here with a 255 on a 9.5 rim and it looked ok. I'm anxious to see how that 245 looks...
