Is that a 2010 Camaro you have there? Those wheels REALLY update the look, very clean and slick car. OE wheels is a good dealer, I have a pair of their black Z06 motor sports on my corvette. Great wheels.

Re: anyone here buy from OE wheels LLC?? if so post up your experiance and pics..

I got a set of C5 thin spokes from them about 4yrs ago. They are 17X8.5 all four corners. I have 2" spacers in the rear, 1.7" in the front, but I have the C5 brakes on the front. This setup has held up well for me. But I think I will step up in size in the very near future. I will probably go with OE wheels again. Later, Dean

Hello everyone. My name is Scott and I'm the sales manager at oe wheels llc. If anyone has any questions about our products feel free to give me a call. Fyi we do not carry exact fitment for your 3rd gen cars but you can get spacers to make them fit as shown above in the photos. :

If you are still in the market for wheels, I'd recommend using OE Wheels. Got a set of Deep Dish Y2Ks on my 91. **(2nd pick is before paint and car was very dirty)

Agreed, they have a HUGE thread over there from a bunch of customers. My next set of wheels will be bought from them, i'll be getting the 17x9.5 and 17x11 Zr1 wheels with tires for $895, but that is not including shipping.

Re: anyone here buy from OE wheels LLC?? if so post up your experiance and pics..

just bought a set of 17x9.5 black polished lip Z06 from them on ebay. You cant beat the quality for the price anywhere. The price was 491.00 shipped to my door. Communication was great, shipping was fast. Would buy from them again without a doubt.

Re: anyone here buy from OE wheels LLC?? if so post up your experiance and pics..

My biggest problem is this:

I want either the ZR1 (SS) style wheel or the C5 Z06 wheel... BUT:

- I want 18" all the way around
- I want gunmetal (Argen), just not black or chrome
- I want the at least the rear to be somewhat deep dish

I can't find this combo anywhere for sale... anyone know where to get it??

Re: anyone here buy from OE wheels LLC?? if so post up your experiance and pics..

I bought a set of C6 Z06 rims in a 17x9.5" from them. I think they are 54mm, can I get away with using a 1.5" spacer on the front & rear and not have any issues?

Re: anyone here buy from OE wheels LLC?? if so post up your experiance and pics..

I have the same offset on my C5 Z06 wheels Transmetal. i am going with 2.25 on the front because i went with the C5 front brake upgrade. On the rear i am not running any adapters because of my 4th gen rearend from a 96 Z28 which stretches 4in wider then the 3rd gen rear. If you have the 3rd gen rear you will need 2in adapters on the rear.

Dante here is an alternative i found on ebay. they have Z06 C5's that are are set of 18x9.5 that are black for 290 starting bid buy it now for 319 and 189 shipping. bid the 290 pay the 189 shipping to get $478. paint them argen yourself. the dish isn't that big but still there... just a thought. Thats what i am doing with mine, bought the black ones and then will get some gunmetal paint. Didn't want to pay for the original gunmetal ones so i am making my own.

Re: anyone here buy from OE wheels LLC?? if so post up your experiance and pics..

The reason I asked about the 1.5" spacers is because on some cars the rims seem to stick out way too far from the fender but I guess it depends on the width of the rims and the tire size.
