ICONZ OR SAVINI??? ANYONE??? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

OminouSS · 01-08-2010, 08:24 PM

Hi, I posted this in vendor feedback area, but I need more exposure as I am purchasing soon. It doesn't seem many wheel people visit that thread :(

I'm about to throw down some very serious coin on wheels after four solid months of debate & shopping. I have narrowed it down, I think, to two wheel makers: Iconz & Savini. Both have been damn good at answering all my questions (pretty patient guy's), but I have no idea about their quality or customer service after the sale. I'm not rich and these wheels are a stretch for me, so I really need the experience to be good. I cannot afford otherwise. Does anybody have wheels from either builder? Can you tell me about the quality and service? You have no idea how much I would appreciate your insight. I will return the favor if you need info about any of my mods. furthermore, I will write about my experience after I select so all of you folks on the fence can have the feedback I so desperately need right now. Afterall, buying wheels can be more expensive than a stinking Maggie or other SC!!!!

Thanks crew!!!!

Not sure why 2 threads..LOL, Iconz are better IMO

Okay, WTF? I just saw that Iconz account is suspended. I swear I have had the worst luck with choosing vendors on this site. Luckily I had not yet put my deposit down. Does anybody know why the suspension? I guess I am back to the drawing board. Anybody deal with Savini????

That's crappy I was going to look into Iconz to. Let us know what you find out.

Not anything serious, they just need to follow the posting rules.

I'm sure the ban has nothing towards the way Iconz does business. Just fouled up on the posting rules. In my opinion, Iconz FTW! I love their wheel profiles. Trying to pick which ones I like myself.. but theres just too many killer ones!

To me Iconz are more sport/race looking and need to go on a "this car means business" type of camaro.

Savani's I've never really cared for and to me, have more of a "bling bling, look at me" type of appearance. They just look cheaper to me.

Contact Nine Ball on here as he is a dealer for a ton of forged wheels. He'll hook ya up.

Good info here. I agree on the appearance. I am still hoping to find somebody who has done business with them from C5. This is an insanely large amount of money for me that I can't risk losing from a dishonest vendor. I almost got burned from another vendor and was saved at the last minute my the Mods. BTW Milk - thanks for the info.

Is anybody else leary of Florida wheel builders or is that just my paranoia?

Indpowr · 01-09-2010, 02:05 PM

You should be for the cost of money. Iconz is a vendor on the Corvetteforum

That actually means a lot, Junkie. Thanks for your input. I'm sure you know why the paranoia

. I'm feeling more confident already.
