OE Wheels?

auto_x5.0 · Jul 9, 2009

Has anybody bought wheels from OE wheels, off of ebay or their website? I was looking at getting some new wheels for the vert and they have the wheels I want. So any feedback will be good.

I have heard there pretty decent from random posts here and there.

I'm pretty sure the R's I bought for mine were OE rims. I could not remember the brand name 'til I read this. I knew it was something real simple. My rims were never really that good. They cleaned up good, but that was it! 1 of the rims was cracked like completely through. I used them on it when it was in the body shop. I would never trust them to drive on. I think that company is really good though! Mine were $300.

The further you got from them, better they looked.

That's funny, I just want something different for the vert, I was thinking black GT4 18x9 18x10.5 but for the price there's got to be something up.

They are a good company...the wheels are cheap because they are replicas, and MASS produced...don't be afraid of them...I've seen several sets from ebay sellers, and they are all good wheels.

Let's see, when I bought my car it came with Tri-Bars. I then bought the R's. A little later I bought the 03 Cobras. I now have the Faleens. I think I'll stick with these for a long time, maybe? Every day they seem to come out with cooler looking stuff for our cars! Probably why I cannot save up any $.

Not sure about the pricing. My last 2 sets of rims came from American Muscle! Every time I was very pleased.
These, right?

I can't find a price for those you are looking to buy.

Yeah those are the wheels, so 18x9 and 18x10, what size tire can you fit on a 18x10. I wanna go wide, not like top fuel wide. Bit like 295-305, somewhere in there.

Amer Muscle says, 285/35-18. The 18x9's say 265/35-18.

I have 275-40's on my 17x9 10th anniversary Cobra's

eliyarbrough · Jul 14, 2009

That's what I have on my Faleens. As soon as these wear out, I'll buy 255/40-17 in the BFG KDW 2's. It'll take my @ least a year though!

Huh, since 7/31/06, I've driven about 14K miles.

Hol crap man....I drive the hell out of both of the sn's at this house. The cobra has added about 800miles, but it was also driven back from Columbus, Ohio, lol. I need some new(smaller front)tires for the laser red Fobra vert

i bought my old black cobra r's with rivets and a polished lip from them...
i was very pleased with the for the price,
but the rivets are going to start to peel and look like shit no matter how often or how well u take care of them

so now they are my winter wheels
