fleeBay wheels pro/cons
I'm looking at a set of wheels on fleeBay, from a company called OE Wheels. There the Black Corvette Z06 motor sports with rivets 17x 9.5-18x10.5. I'm sure someone has purchased from them. Hows the quality of there products? What about customer service. Give me your good and or bad experience with them.
Thanks

I've had a good experience with AFS Wheels. I never had to deal with problems with a wheel, but they cut me a deal when I needed a replacement that was my fault it was damaged(caliper bolt came out and caliper destroyed the inside of the wheel).
AFS was late on shipping the wheels but I think they gave Ron(forum member: corvetteronw) a discount of some kind.

I got my wheels on Ebay from AFS with tires and all. The price was almost half of what I've seen in other places for the same tires and similar aftermarket wheels. Some places charged as much for the aftermarket wheels alone as I paid for wheels and tires. My experience was good but I've purchsed and sold many things on ebay over the last 9 years. I also know what I'm buying before I buy it or I do a lot of investigating / research before I purchase something of value. Having said that If I had a bad enough experience that prompted me to call the site fleebay then I probably would refrain from buying anything else on it. Stick with what you're comfortable with. It sounds like you may already be expecting to be dissappointed.

This is the the seller I purchased from and these wheels... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Black...6525QQtcZphoto -- I don't know if the price has changed, but that is probably pretty close to what I paid for mine in those sizes... So a little more than what you mentioned..

That I know of, there've been three reported instances of poor service from the seller you cite. However, I and many others have had a very good experience with them. It's your decision.
