Default O E Wheels?

Anyone ever buy a set from these guys? I keep considering black C5 or C6 Z06 wheels for my car.

I've bought from them before and will again. I've had nothing but great customer service from them and a quality product.

Another good review from me. Gload to see they finally got an independent site now so I don't have to search on ebay. Got my current wheels from them. Instant shipping and a great price.

OE wheels are what 90% of forum sponsors sell us.. FYI.

Only prob is I don't see 18x10.5s in the rear.. just 9.5s all around,... you wouldn't want that

They definitely sell them in C5z sizes, I have 17x9.5", 18x10.5" on my car.

They make a good wheel and are ridiculously cheap.

I REALLY wish they had 19x11's. I'd hate to lose any width on the stock 10.5" when I bump up to a 19" wheel.

I was just checking out that O.E. link. I found a wheel I really like but I'm wondering, what about the tire pressure sensors. will they work in aftermarket wheels or what do you do?

Also bought a set of C5 Z06 high polished wheels, 17/9.5 and 18/10.5. The sensors fit but i did put in a larger "O" ring. Same diameter but thicker. Make sure they are sized for the correct year sensor, don't know if there is any difference in the hole size for the <2000/>2000, but good to check. One wheel was off balance a little but in range.

The center caps were C5 logo but not painted, just plain so i put on my stock caps. Good deal since you get the lugs & locks too.
