Default Has anyone dealt with House of Wheels?

House of wheels says that they carry C5 Z06 chrome wheels in 18x9.5 front and 19x11" rear.
If they do , they are the only one that does.
Has anyone dealt with them and are there any complaints?

If you are talking about "Bob" of Bob's House of Wheels in Deerfield Beach, FL then I'm fairly certain you will not find anyone on this forum that will say anything bad about him or his business. Outstanding gentleman and does whatever he can to treat the customer right!

If there is any doubt in your mind that he hasn't got exactly what you want, my suggestion would be to email him a picture first before ordereing.

I bought a couple sets of OEM Z16 wheels from him. both transactions went smoothly. Good guy to deal with.
The rims you are looking at are reproductions. The OEM wheels did not come in those sizes.

That is correct. I'm looking to stay with that style wheel but in 18" and 19".
No other vendor has those sizes.

Thanks to all for the help.

Yep, twice, and Bob was very helpful. He even talked to me while he was having lunch in a restaurant, I realized the noise in the background, and said, Bob, are you in a restaurant? He said yes, I said, man, eat, and call me back when you're finished.

Bob is great, I got my wheels from him 4 years ago and he was amazing. Great price and I had the wheels in 4 days. He wasn't in the office when I called, he had to pull over and take my info and order while on the road!!!

I had the same experience with Bob. Great service and great products and incredably fast shipping for boxes that size and weight. Highly recommend him.

Although I have not bought any wheels from that vendor, I have heard nothing but good things about their service and product quality.
