Default OE Wheels Good??

Im lookin at some anthracite Bullit wheels made by OE since the Wheel Replicas seem to have stopped production of them at the moment.. Anyone have any experience with OE? Are they a good quality? Heres a link of the rims, I actually like them more then Wheel Replicas, what concerns me is the quality of the wheel.

I have not heard anything good or bad about OE wheels. I have wheel replica 17X10.5's on my car and those actually look better than what I have. For, what, $450.00 you really can't go wrong for all four! I paid $240.00 for my two.

I just bought a set of Bullit's, 17x9's/17x10.5's from OE. I got them in half the time I expected, about 5 business days, and they look great. I've had them on the car for about a month, but not many miles, since I live in a northern state and the weather up to about a week ago hasn't exactly been good driving for a Mustang. The wheels I picked up showed the pony center caps on ebay, but they come with the cobras, pony's are going to cost you another $70 or so. They seem to be good people to do business with, and delivered on everything promised.

The Pony center caps I got from them were right out of Ford bags, same as you buy at the dealer so no problem.

Yea they were a super easy to work with, they are who I got my saleens from! I shopped around for a long time, and they had the best prices for what I was looking for.

And yes oem caps will fit, as long as they have a diameter of 2.5"

I bought the wheels I got on my car now from them. 95 Cobra R 17x10.5 and 17x9's I have had them for about a year and a half. I have no complaints about them. The finish is still as good as when I first got them. I recieved them about 2 weeks after I ordered them. Took longer than expected for me that time, that was shipped to CT..... I just ordered saleen wheels 18x9 18x10 from them 4 weeks ago. Waiting to get tires now. They got to me in a week and a half to NC.... I had two deep scratches in one of the wheels so I called them up and told them. I sent them a pic via email and they said ok they would mail a shipping tag and then I could mail the wheel back and then they would ship a new one out. But I opted to buy a new wheel and they sent a shipping tag along with it. I got the wheel in three days, mabye because I was kinda upset about it. Then I mailed the wheel back to them. That was on friday evening, so I dont think they got the package yet. If I have problems I will post them. But I will buy from them again...
