Anyone familiar with OE Wheels LLC

Im trying to buy new ZL1 replicas for my new RS at a reasonable price, but a set of 4 2 20x8.5 and 2 20x9.5 for $580 seems to good to be true... Any feedback would be appreciated

Check the material. There is wheels on Amazon for 150 a piece. I wouldn't trust any of them though.

I ran OE Wheels on my Mustang. They had the style I wanted. They were good wheels and I never had a problem with them. They are heavy though for sure. A get what you paid for type of thing.

I noticed that under the 'Fitment' section it says it will not fit 2010-2016 Camaro SS or ZL1. Strange.

MRR wheels makes a replica of the ZL1 wheels. I have a hard time trusting wheels that cheap on a 30k+ car. Maybe a civic

Correct, they won't fit SS or ZL1 because of the Brenbo breaks, or so they say...these are exclusive for RS... I looked up The MRR, but they only have 20x10 and 20x11, and I'm trying to keep my tires to save some money :(
I just don't want to buy them, just to have issues with them later on

If you want to save money in the long run and not have issues later on, then it's worth buying the more expensive, quality, set and putting tires that fit on it

Excuse me, but 580$ for a set of 20' wheels ....this is garbage. In the real world cost a better medium class single wheel around 500$. Did you think about the dead / Unrestrained mass. The one you picked is probably much heavier than the originals.
I would never buy such a shi....

Considering the loads that a modern car like our Camaro's can generate in a corner, I'd be concerned about any defect in manufacturing. There's a reason that OEM wheels cost what they do. There are very few parts on a car, that if they fail, there'd be no issue. Wheels are certainly not among them. In full disclosure, I saved up longer and bought genuine GM rims for the Might HABU. Yes, that cost me a couple grand. But if your cheapo rim breaks and puts your car into a tree, what is that going to cost you? Start by thinking long term about raises in insurance rates, for example.

Regardless of what you choose,

Be careful.

Kindest,

Donner

I've ran a set on one my old 4th gens. Are they the best, probably far from it. They did look good though. I would consider them in the future if in the market.

Im not certain on this, but I think wheel manufacturers have to meet certain DOT standards in order to sell them, plus they are a vendor for the site.

Get what you like and can afford.

This is right. I think we have here in Germany among others the most stringent rules and regulations concerning parts and spare parts. Although we do not have speed limits on the highway you can buy here that cheap crap from Asia. You just don't know what kind of alu it is and how it was processed. I would never put any kind of those rims on my car.

The price is attractive but I'm just scared it might turn out to be more expensive in the long run
