Default TomZ Wheels

Does anybody out there have these?

Any opinions?

I'm looking to change out my sawblades.

Thanks

Well Im not sure about this but...if I were you I would check on alibaba.com
Basically (if youre not familiar with this site) alibaba is a site where you can purchase all kinds of automobile parts from CHINA. That's right CHINA! They have anything from mags to superchargers....and those mags look familiar to some Ive seen on alibaba...
Im really not sure of this but most of these ebay sellers never actually have the parts with them...they just purchase them from their supplier once youve ordered and have them shipped directly to you and often there supplier is CHINESE
So like I said I would check it out before ordering because even if you dont mind chines parts....you can order them yourself.....

I have sawblades on my 92 and have thought about changing but the sawblades just seem to fit the look of the 92 But it's your Vette so you should do what YOU LIKE

Thanks

I'm not too worried about the China thing because when you look at Tomz feedback it's 100% positive and he has over 4K responses. If there were any problems with the wheels someone would've given him a negative. Also, his site refers back to a manufacturer in the states. What I would worry about is giving my credit card info to an overseas company. So I think I'll just use Paypal with the stateside co.

I was looking more for opinions on looks.

Thanks

Tomz Wheels is on the Forum and gives an extra discount for Forum members. It would be worthwhile to check Tomz price to Forum members. I bought a set of chrome C5 Z06 wheels for my 94 from Tomz Wheels and happy with their service and price.

Thanks for the tip. I'm going to send Tomz an e-mail asking about the Forum discount.
