Default WHEELS FROM oewheelsllc.com

Have any of you guys purchased wheels from this site?

The prices are phenomenal but I wonder about the quality.

I'm looking at this one.



Any help here would be appreciated.

If I was in the market right now, I would call. For now they are bookmarked.

Ford, GM, Chrysler call themselves manufacturers too, but most of their OEM hardware comes from tier 1 and 2 suppliers, much of it now mfd outside the US. So I find it hard to believe that these guys cast and finish their own rims here in the USofA.

I did give them a call this morning. The wheels are made in either Italy of China, depending on the wheel. I did a search on complaints and they also sell on E-Bay so I checked their rating there too. They seem to be legit and a lot of good comments. I did find a couple of complaints though.

I will give it some more thought but I will probably purchase by the end of the week.
I switched to this wheel though, Chrome 18/8" 35 offset, 4 for $685.

Beautiful choice. I have the same one (see signature) in brushed aluminum -- btw made in China. Make sure they throw in the center covers. You may also want to find yourself a set of chromed lugnuts. Lugnuts are visible with this style rim and stock are kind of tacky, unless covered.

I've been looking at these for my A6 2.7 but can't figure out if they will fit or not. Do all 2.7's come with the big brakes? How can I tell?

I just bought wheels from them about a month ago, so far they are great and so was the price.
