Z06 Chrome Wheels

[9538jp]

I am looking at a set of after market Z06 chrome wheels for my C5. These are made by O.E. Concepts, in Texas. Has anyone had any experience with this companies products? Also, is there any down side to buying after market wheels. I would appreciate any feedback.
Thanks

My recomendation is give Glennm27 a PM. He had em on his C5
and knows wheels. Yo-El is another that I would ask. Good luck!:o

I have heard of OE Concepts BUT have not had any experiece with them. Many people on the Corvetteforum have used OE Concept wheels and I have not heard anything bad about them.
I personally had Z06 reproduction wheels for 4 years and they were as nice the day I sold them (4 years and 10000 miles later) as they were when I bought them. Mine were from Factory Reproductions, another company very similar to OE Concepts.

I had Jay Eppie get mine for me and he got them at a great price. I'd suggest you at least talk with Jay when purchasing wheels and/or tires.
Eppies Tires, Philadelphia, PA Eppies advertise in the Gascap every month.

Here are links to both wheel companies websites if you car to check them out.

You may also check with Bill Burkholder, he just purchased a set a couple of weeks ago. I believe he purchased from House of Wheels at a great price.

I have a set on my Vette. No problems 3 years.

Beautiful wheels, Great service. I bought the 06- Z-06 rims for Arleens C-5 through them. Except for a front wheel being lost in shippment I have no complaints.
