FinishLineWheels - Whats the deal?

Does anybody know anything about this seller.

Are the OEM rims they're selling the real deal? Seems to be a significant gap between them and the dealers.

Has anyone bought OEM from them or heard from anybody who has?

Thinking about making a purchase?

Their OEM wheels are cheaper because they're reconditioned. Their replicas seem to be good because they're made in italy, but I asked for their weight and the response I got is that "they're made to OEM specs". I suppose that means they weigh the same? I would have preferred a number...

Good information

hmmmm ....sounds a little questionable.

I've heard others say you can by OEM, specifically 162's for around $1200 brand new in the US. Do any of you know who sells at that price?

Thanks again for your responses.

If anyone else knows and Finish Line wheels, please feel free to post info

I tried to order style 162 wheels and got the same "out of stock".

JohnnyK, I just ordered style 162 wheels from Tischer BMW in Maryland. Talk to Evan he will help you out.

Tischer BMW sell the OEM 162 for about $370-380 a wheel. Another member voltron1011 bought replicas from lakeshorewheelandtire.com and says they are quality replicas. I checked them out a week ago and they were selling a set of 18x8 with an ET34 for about $699.

Buy them "used" on the board. Some members take them off right away. Going rates are ususlly around 1100 to 1300 for wheels, tires, and TPMS.

They're a joke. They have nothing in stock. Expect a bounce back for "out of stock and no ETA on new inventory". Just save yourself the time and look elsewhere.
