Default Wheels....

anyone have any experience with an ebay seller/store named OE Wheels located in Sarasota Florida?
They have some righteous pricing and good looking wheels in C4 sizing.

Thanks

Not directly from OE, but Tom Wheelz hooked me up with OE wheels that look like this:

I got my gunmetals from them and they were able to get the wheels to me in a little under 2 weeks (and i live in MA). Their prices are unbeatable and there rims are high quality... I would definately do business with them again... in fact I already have about a total of 3 times and you know what everytime was just as good as the time before.

Thanks to y'all for the three replies - the gunmetal answer from Balko did the trick - that's what I'm looking at !!

I'm good to go and will probably list my chrome AFS ZR1 style wheels on the Forum when I get the gunmetals.

I bought some O.E. black ZR-1s on ebay. Super price, fast delivery, great packing boxes and really nice wheels.

I got my street set of ZO6 wheels from them and have no complaints. Especially for the money.

Wow, 2 weeks seems like a long wait. I got wheels/tires from AFS out of Ca. in less than a week (Nornal UPS delivery... by Train )
