I've been watching this thread. 30 days ago I asked when the c6 silver 18x9.5 upc#9449278 would be back in stock...told on this thread that it was discontinued...
Pretty funny how they still have it on their website...listed as out of stock. If you say it's out of stock then take it off the website so you don't lead others astray and give them false hope it's coming in.

Very disappointed to see the state of this thread. I don't typically check this section, and I absolutely love the C5 deep dish 18" rears, 17" fronts. Seems like they're having a hell of problem with supply and demand.

Unfortunate. Now the question is, do I drop the insane cash on Fikse or CCW?

Looks like most of the C5DD wheels are back in stock. 18x9.5 are also a tad cheaper than the 17x9.5. Part of me wants them, but part of me can't stomach the price of 18" tires. Egads.

Then I looked at the 18x10.5 as the cars that have those on all 4 corners look amazing, but the tire cost there really made me sick lol. Not to mention the extra work making them fit and then the absolute overkill they would be on my car.

Yes made in china but 75% of stuff is these days. I called OE for weight differences on the 17 vs 18? I know forsure the 17x9.5 were 28 lbs which are comparable to most decent brand name wheels. Exceptions being high end wheels which cost waaaaaaay more. Can't remember the weight of the 18's from OE but they were alot heavier than the 17's. Think the guy said they can weigh up to 38-40 lbs? For there prices you can't beat them. I researched alot of different sights and nobody came close.

The photos are crap...you can't see the actual detail of the color or texture of the finish. They need a course in customer service.

I'm sorry that your experience was less than stellar. Please contact me directly and I can get you a photo sent to you on the wheel you need.

I was only a few days away from ordering some TT2s when I decided to give Steve from OE a call and give him the chance to make it up to me. And that's exactly what he did. Over the next few days we called and emailed back and forth and it was immediately apparent that he was going to do whatever he could to make it right and keep me as a customer. Keep in mind, I had never ordered anything from them before and my order was >$500 after shipping. Long story short, I have 4 C5 DD Black w/Machined lip 18X10.5 wheels on their way to me that should be here a week from Monday. Now they did make the initial mistake and I do think they need to keep better track of their inventory and their website but they took that mistake and used it as an opportunity to impress me and they did. I would suggest giving Steve a call and see what he can do for you. Of course if you have one exact style, color, and size of wheel that you want, you may just have to wait or change your mind. You just have to decide what's more important, getting exactly what you want and waiting for it or compromising and choosing another awesome looking wheel and being able to get it now.



Thankyou. I will pass this along to Steve!

Yes they are made in China. We have been having trouble with some of the factories therer that make the corvette style wheels. we have not had any other issues with any other style wheel other than the corvette style wheels.

We are trying to get them back in stock as quickly as we can and have been getting many styles back. in the last month we have received 4 containers full of corvette wheels (2800 wheels) and are getting more in stock all the time.

We do apologize for slow ramp up of getting all the styles that people are looking for.

I'm thinking early spring too, after I get my tax return. Still need to decide on tires, unless the N3000 are decent at all. I was going to go with them originally but that combo from OE went up in price by a fair bit ($200 ish) so now I'm not sure if I'd be better off getting a different tire for a little more than that or not.
