Default Ebay AFS Wheels/Tires

Has anyone bought a set of these from AFS ads on EBAY? Are AFS quality wheels? I was looking at buying a set of the ZR1-style wheels for my Trans Am. They say they'll fit a Trans Am but not a Camaro.

Well, I just couldn't help myself ... after reading all the positive feedback here, I broke down and ordered a set of the AFS black chrome, ZR1 style, 17" x 9.5" wheels with Goodyear Essenza EVO-Z tires in a 275 width on all corners ... got the ones which are a direct for a Trans Am.

Thanks for all your help folks. I hope I'm as satisfied with them as you guys are.

Anybody got any pics of your car with the Black ZR1's? On a red car would be cool to see, especially if it was a Trans Am.

AFS is selling a set of chrome Z06's with a European tire called Vredestein rated at 186mph. Has anyone heard of these tires? I googled them and can't find anything on them.

I have polished and clear coated AFS ZR1 wheels.

I have been happy with them, had some clear coat issues on one of the front wheels, took some pics of it and send them to AFS. They send me a new wheel and paid for the shipping too.

They are holding up real well except the clear coat showing some of it's age. Guess I'll get them repolished and re-cleared when they get to be too nasty looking.

vredestein tires are good. they're built for the autobahn in germany. vredestein makes high end bicycle tires and they only recently entered the market for cars. i say thumbs up, plus they look sexay.
