Default WHEELGUYZ & EVOS

I just got off the phone with wheelguyz about ordering some HP evos and they told me they dont make them in anything wider than a 8" lip in 17 or 18.Is that true? I did not get the most confident feeling from the rude guy on the phone.

Holy smokes dude, stay away from WheelGuyz...please!

I ordered some 18x9 evo's recently and after a month of no return phone calls, being continuously transferred, being hung up on, and lied to, I was finally told by a manager that they oversold the wheels after I threatened to cancel my order with my credit card. I decided to go for the 19x9.5's after this manager guy assured me that the 19's were in stock, and after he gave me a decent size discount. But, then when the wheels arrived, I had a scratch on the lip of one wheel, none of the wheels/tires were balanced, and no lug nuts were shipped. Now, I have to take the car and have the wheels removed and balanced, costing me even more $$.

Don't let their professional looking web site and nice phone recording fool you....

I get a feeling that places selling these rims are a little on the shady side.

This on ebay as we speak...

Whomever you buy from just make sure they are in stock and ready to be shipped.

Mine are 18x9 & I ordered them form wheelguyz. I had a smooth transaction & fast shipping I ordered them on sat & had them on wed. No scrathes or anything. I might do business with them again after reading all these post's about them but I have no complaints the 1st time I ordered from them
