New to Forum, Need Wheel Help
Hey, everyone, new here and need some help. Taz, sorry for posting again after I've sent you a message already, I should have tried this first.
To the point, sadly my Intimidator has had one problem or another since I bought her new. Latest issue is she was losing tire pressue in the right front. Tire shop pulled the tire and showed me half the chrome plating had corroded, the part on the bead causing the leak. This really concerns me and I've been looking at replacing the wheels. I've found a seller on eBay that makes replica wheels. They're called OE Wheels LLC in Sarasota FL. Has anyone purchased from them before? Thinking of replacing with the Dale Jr type wheel to avoid any chrome issues later. Does this seem like a good move?
Thanks for helping.

I know a few people that have bought replica Vette wheels from OE Wheels with no issues. Hope that helps ya! How's their feedback rating?

Thanks everyone. Their eBay rating is over 33,000 postive with a 99.9% rating. Pretty good. I've seen the company reply to complaints on other forums, they seem to back their stuff. Lifetime warranty and 1 year on finish. Currently this set you can get for $485 with shipping. I'd rather keep my stock chromes but the plating coming off the bead and losing air pressure is a big concern.

You can always buy these, and then get your stock rims repaired.

SLP has a wheel that is a little scuffed on the rim. They want $95 for it... At least it's an option. I think they are the same, if not sorry for the waste of your time.
