looking for new wheels
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=43958
I have started looking for some different wheels and I came across these guys on ebay. Has anyone here bought wheels from them? They have a lot of good feedback...and tons of auctions running at all times...
my question is, why are these wheels so cheap?
Is this a deal where they are cheap reproductions and the quality isnt there?
Should I consider these or should I
sorry, I had to use that little guy

actually, no...
those are not from Corvettes of Houston. Corvettes of Houston ebay ID is COH1, this guy is Moore9911.
This place is out of Sarasota Florida. If these were from Corvettes of Houston I would have bought them already

Personally, I would go with a forum vendor like COH, House of Wheels, Xtreme Motorsports, etc. Their quality and customer service is great.

Two years ago I bought ZR1 type wheels for my '94 from Moore9911 in Florida. The quality was great and they still look fine. I would not hesitate to buy again from them. You can call them and they will answer any questions that you may have. The price is good. I agree in most cases you get what you pay for but you don't have to pay a fortune for everything.

I bought a set of ZR1 polished aluminum wheels from them last year. Fast shipping and a quality product. They needed very little weight to balance and looked great!
