Don't believe that these are OEM quality wheels. These are replicas, as it says in the text. OE level wheels are generally more expensive than aftermarket wheels, but they must meet requirements that aftermarket wheels do not. Finish quality and durability, and especially side impact testing are things that OEM quality wheels must achieve. That said, they well may be a good buy. I do have an issue with them comparing the Nexen tire to Michelins. They are an inexpensive, and probably China made tire. But then so are many other so called budget performance tires. The price seems good, though, for rims and tires.

I've heard good things about OE Wheels, especially their prices.

"OE" is the name of the company that makes those replicas... It doesn't mean "OEM".

Those tires are probably garbage

I know, I've got a vendor that we get their wheels from. I just didn't want anyone who was interested to get confused as to whether these are OEM wheels or not.

I had a set of 18" Chrome bullits on my mustang GT for 3 years. Its quality and shine is as sstrong today as when i first got them.

I definately recommend OE wheels. Their prices are amazing, but so is their quality.

Those are the Nexen N3000 tires. I have those all around on my mach on the stock wheels. I've only owned the car since Nov '08 but have put a little over 3k miles on them...don't know how long they on there before I bought the car. I haven't had any problems with the tires personally. Also had them on my wife's 02 maxima with no issues.
