I bought from wheeldynamics.com and had a great experience. I just brushed a curb (lightly) and lost some red paint off my outer lip and they're going to touch it up for me free of charge. Good people.

Last I checked wheelsandcaps wheels were made in China.
Apparently they changed their source for wheels...

Wheel Dynamics wheels are made in Italy.

I personally don't any experience with wheelsandcaps but I have had two sets of Wheels Dynamics wheels and they were quality and took my aggressive driving habits fine. A lot of members on 986forum.com use Wheel Dynamics and none of us have had an issue to date,even the ones who auto-x their cars w/ W.D. wheels.

Yes that may be true.........BUT I asked Wheelsandcaps if their wheels come in white boxes marked 'made in Italy' that have an Italian flag color scheme behind it(like Wheel Dynamics do) and they have yet to respond.....I've asked 3 times.

THANK YOU! I've been looking for someone who remembers what box they come in.......looks like it's the same as Wheel Dynamics but 1/2 the price.

Can't wait until I get a set....hehehehe

I was wondering the same thing. I was thinking about buying the 19" carerra sport wheels and wheel dynamics has the listed for about $500 more than wheels and caps but I have always heard good things about wheel dynamics so I was leaning toward buying from them.

moxster99, did you receive your wheels yet? If so, how do you rate W&C? What wheels did you get?

thanks

got my rims and tires, painted my calipers and put on my new logos from xenonmods.com . All I can say is wow!, i am very pleased with all the results. The rims are great, I am not an expert but for $500.00 these carrera knock offs are fantastic. My car is currently in storage at my shop, but when I get her out I will post some pics!! Praying for some warm weather, Mox.
