Well they are pretty good from what I've heard. They are $395 but you also have to pay shipping, which is like $90. So by the end, you'll almost be paying as much as you would with a company like AM who offers free shipping and then you get the discount for being a member, but that gets cancelled out by having to pay PA sales tax. In the end, its $33 difference, and with buying the tires at AM you can also buy tires from them and get free mount and balance for all 4, which you wouldnt with OE Wheels.

Just food for thought

No, you're reading it right. AM's prices includes free shipping. Everywhere else charges you shipping, including OE Wheels. It ends up being around $490 for OE wheels after shipping or $523.11 after discount, tax, and free shipping from AM. I mean its up to you. I'd be willing to go with AM for the extra $33 because they are reputable and have a track record to go off of. OE Wheels hasnt been overly mainstream yet like AM has been. So its really up to you.

The $33 is worth the customer service if nothing else...

I bought my tires from OE wheels and i picked them up because i was local, If you buy a set with tires they mount and balance them and if u call and ask most likely they can get a tire you want on them (for a price of course) They treated me great only good things to say from me.

but yeah that is for a set of all 4 wheels then add shipping.
