Default Ebay rims

I'm not going to bring up sellers names here, but when doing a search for Camaro or Corvette rims, there are 2 people in particulat that offer OEM replica rims for these cars. All sorts of different years, finishes, and some with rubber, some not.

My question is, has anybody gone this route, and if so are you happy with what you recieved?

On the converse, has anybody heard horror stories about these rims?

Most of them are just oe concepts wheels or factory reproductions. I would just go with Tomz cause he is cheaper anyways and you will be dealing with a great company. He also has stuff on ebay as well

+1 for tomz, theyre cheaper and i have no doubt in my mind your getting quality. some people on ebay offer bullshit quality wheels, and imo its kinda hard to figure out the good from the bad on ebay. also if you have any questions about any wheel in particular, just ask them, with ebay you cant always do that.

Well some of the tires are ok. My bro got Nexen tires and they have turned out to be really good DD tires. But yea you do have a point. Sometimes they put the cheapest tires possible on there and you have to end up regretting it later on. Well I guess my bro got his from Tomz also so they are prob better tires

I ordered some off ebay for my 99 corvette i used to have, dont remeber the seller but when i got them we put them on the ballancer before we put the tires on to see if any were warped, and sure enough one of them was. We were able to ballance it out with weights lucky.

I have purchased 3 different sets of rims from Moore9911 (O.E. Wheel Distributors, LLC) on ebay and have been more than pleased with every transaction. The first set was chrome "17 Z06 rims which I had for roughly two years and never once had a problem. The second set was Black "17 ZR1's with Hancook tires. The rims are still in great condition and have 30k + miles on them, the tires however were junk when new.. and this week I purchased another set from them which are still in route to my home. I would highly recommend taking a look at his rims as well.
