Question ZO6's, and OE Wheel Distributors......

First, has anyone heard anything good, or bad about this company. They have really good prices on ebay, and was just looking for some feedback.

Plus, I was wondering about peoples opinions on going with a chrome ZO6 17/18 in. combo, or just go with all 17's or 18's. My car is dropped about 2 inches, and the stock 16's really fill out the wheel well already. Im fearful of getting 18's and having rubbing issues with the drop, or going with 17's and having them look too small. If anyone has pics of a 4th gen. with 17" ZO6's on a dropped car, or stock height car, it would be very helpful. I just want to make the right choice before I get some wheels in the future. All opinions are welcome. Thanks guys. (Please take the 2" drop into consideration too!)

good deals

www.performancewheeloutlet.com
has very reasonable prices on the y2k and zo6 rims...anyone know if they are any good? I was thinking of ordering a set 18 x 9.5 ZO6s if they are a reputable company.
Lastly, are you guys going with 275/35/18 or the 245/40/18 tires??? Please help.

P.S. go with the 18s all around, I think you will be fine.

Thx - Lou

go with the 275 tire on the 9.5 wheels. 245 is too narrow for it

Well I'm glad some of you had a good experience because mine hasn't been to good. I just received my 4 chrome Y2K 17's today after I ordered 3 1/2 weeks ago. I ordered them with the lug package which was not in any of the boxes so I got f*cked there, also I wanted blank center caps with the SS stickers and there was a note in the box that said they were backordered and will be sent out. My main problem with them was the amount of time, they didn't ship the wheels until this monday after I called bitchin about where the hell they were. They couldn't tell me why they didn't ship before then, etc etc And now they arrive with no lugs, stems, etc.

As far as quality they look real nice, I noticed one small imperfection in the chrome on one of the lips, almost looks like an oil stain of some sort, I hope it comes out when I wax them tomorrow before I put them on, but not large enough to notice unless your really looking hard.

To the other guys that ordered from there, I was wondering did your wheels come in boxes that have a korean, chinese, kind of stamped on them in red, mine did, which is funny because OE wheels when I talked to them on the phone before ordering made it sound like they actually produced the wheels in the US, after seeing the wheels with this stamp I think that they just OEM them from a korean manufacturer of some sort.

Just my two cents....as far as quality I'm happy, in terms of customer support and attention to detail I'm not really pleased, but they are priced right.

when my wheels came from OE wheels I got them 3 days after buying them. I live in FL and they are in FL so I got them really fast. They came in AMerican boxes and no chinese or korean was on them at all.
