Replica ZR 1 Wheels
Replica ZR 1 Wheels Has anyone ever bought any black ZR1 wheels off ebay from OE Wheel Distributors in Sarasota, Florida?? I am looking to buy some but I don't know anything about this company. The wheels seem pretty cheap, but I'm unsure of the quality. If anyone has any info please let me know.
Thanks
Thanks
Well I'll be honest with you. I bought some wheels from them about a month or two ago and they were the wrong ones. I had a HELL of a time getting them to take them back and they were very rude about even talking to me about the problem. I turned it into a huge deal on here and every F-body site I knew of. The picture they showed on Ebay was NOT the actual wheel I got and I had pictures to prove it. They refused to even admit that the wheel they sent me was different or anything. I had to file claims with Ebay, SquareTrade (an Ebay associate company that deals with claims such as mine), and contact my credit card company. Only after having them yell at me on the phone several times did they finally take them back.
As far as quality goes: if they'd actually been the wheels I wanted, the quality would've been pretty decent. The wheels looked like they were nice except they mounted the tires on and scratched part of the wheels all up.
Many people buy from them and are completely satisfied, but just beware that if you have a problem with them, they are extremely rude and unwilling to even listen to complaints. I was hung up on twice. Others I've heard of too say that their customer service is the worst ever and some refuse to buy from them. I'm one of those people.

I bought them, and they were exactly as promised. The only thing I didn't like about them was the fact that it took about 6 times to get them balanced. They suck as far as being 'round'! 
I sold them, 'cause now I have some BBS LMs coming.

All companies have problems w/ their products from time to time, some more than others, but hopefully this company's satisfaction rate GREATLY out numbers their non-satisfaction rate.

I bought a set of z06 wheels from them 2yrs ago & they balanced fine & everything. They even shipped them faster than normal because we wanted them before a show. (they came the night before Super Chevy in seattle in 2002.)
