I had a very good experience with them, with different wheels. But I bought it directly from them, not through ebay.

4 wheels for $395 seems a little on the low side, doesn't it? $85 shipping with free lugs and stems. What is an Argent wheel? Anyone?

Damn that's a hell of a good price for 4 new wheels.

I don't like the wheels in the main add, but those 5 spoke high polished ones in the smaller add for $485 look good to me. Should be easy to keep clean.

I just received my C6 wheels from these guys. The price is great & the wheels appear to be top notch.

No complaints here.

I agree...got my AFS wheels on Ebay 2 years ago and thay have been great. Hardest part was negotiating a reasonably priced install for new tires bought online, put on the new wheels bought on Ebay...with a local tire shop. Some dont like to do it at all...and the prices varied a lot. Have seen a lot of positive posts on both OE and AFS wheels.

Nice looking wheels but cleaning those rivets looks like hell.

Heck of deal though at $395!
