Default Spy Engineering: Avoid!!!!!

If anyone is shopping for wheels, AVOID SPY ENG.!! I am shopping for Axis Milanos and have recieved multiple quotes from wheels shops. I then approached them, giving them my quotes and asking them what they can give me. They offer me a RIDICULOUS PRICE for blemish wheels, NOT NEW ONES! Then they tell me its hard to believe those stores are quoting you that low, that the rims must all be stolen. Last time when i purchase Axis Seven Mods, they told me the SAME thing, but funny, cuz i picked my rims up directly from Axis in Sante Fe Springs, CA. and saved my self like $300 by not buying the rims from SPY. AVOID SPY ENG.!!!

Default what are you talking about!? SPY is great

I could not disagree with you more! I purchased my Milanos from SPY ENGINEERING www.spyeng.com and they came in a few days to my door and were beautiful and I had them on in half an hour.

I called EVERYBODY for the best deal on my wheels and SPY got me a GREAT deal. They also load balanced the wheels & tires (only Tire Rack does this for free ) and the car rode awesome.

I just saw this post and had a great experience with this company. Great service & price.

How much did you pay for your Axis Milanos? 19x8.5 and 19x9.5?

I had a good experience with them overall. There was some confusion with them going out a little later than I was originally told, but in the end I ordered them on a Saturday and they were on my car in TX a week and a half later on a Wednesday.

I think people are expecting HRE service for a cheap wheel brand. I doubt the companies make much money off these, probably more off the tires, so I don't expect the greatest service.

Wheelstudio seems cool, but nobody spoke up about them when I ordered my wheels a month or so ago, so Spy it was.

But i think they do make ALOT of money off their customers. most stores, like Wheelstudio sells der Axis Milano with 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 for $1280. I got mine for $1132. Eurotic rims wants $1295. SpyEng wants $1400!! and then when i tell them my quotes from other places, they say that those rims are prolly stolen or that i am lying! Its not just $1400 they want, they want $1400 +tax and no shipping. i just thought the guy was a jerk trying to rip me off.

This is the second time they did this to me! a while back when i wanted axis seven mods 18", they told me $1295 and said i wont get it cheaper than that. i ended up buying them for $1080 shipped. THATS MY BEEF WITH THEM!

The stolen thing is stupid, but the prices...hey that's their prices, you can't have beef about that. You can shop around and decide who's got a good deal and who doesn't.

I think it's funny that any person who is backing up the company in this thread has less than 10 posts...
