Default OE Question???

Ok, I must really be confused. I hope someone here can help me. Is the OE Concept wheels on TOMZWHEELS the same wheels for vendor called OE Wheels on Ebay? I was thinking they are the same but help me here. they both are offering Chrome ZO6 wheels for about $30 difference. Is there a difference in who manufactures these sets of wheels?

Thanks,
Tim

ya no i've looked at both and never thought they were 1 in the same. i remember seein a wheel tomz offered i thought was really nice, but the more i thought about it the sawblades really do the C4 more justice. sick of seein ZR1 wheels and Z0 WHEELS. so just thinkin of havein my sawblades cleaned up and clearcoated. my opinon.

oh.....nice tint

Dont know if they're the same manufacturer or not. I have have good experiences with OE Wheels. A friend of mine just bought wheels from Tomz and is very happy also. I don't think you can go wrong either way.

I bought mine from oe wheels. Very good people to deal with, shipped within 5 days. I believe tomzwheels and oe wheels are two different companies. zr1 chrome 670.00 shipped.

BRZMAN, I want something different than stock sawblades. I would love to have my sawblades chromed but cost way to much to have done.

Tinting makes a hugh difference!!!

Thanks,
Tim

Hi all, here at Tomzwheels we sell many wheels from different Manufacturers and Distributors including O.E. Concepts who specialize in Replica wheels. OE wheels which is on Ebay (as we are also) is a different company.

FYI, the ebay folks are "O.E. Wheels Distributor." I bought silver ZR1's from them.
