These guys ran up their feedback score by buying hundreds of "coupon" auctions for pennies, check the first page of their current feedback; "onthedge02".
The other part I never liked about their auctions is that they are quite obviously offering replica rims (if you could even call what they do "offering"), yet most of their auctions say "brand new from a car in the showroom". That was an immediate red flag to me about 18 months ago when I started looking for wheels.
Good luck, and hopefully you avoid these guys.

I was about to buy rims from them but changed my mind after I found out they were replicas. Right now I'm working out a deal with plmmotorsports.

Like a glove !!!!! just be carful with your choice of tire brand and size. The front wheel will clear the strut housing, but depending on tire brand and size 235/45 or 245/45, you may rub, it'll be within 1mm - 3mm, so try and get something that's not "oversized" for it's size....ie, BFGoodrich. I won't comment on them since I never did any business with them, but the wheels will fit based on the specs provided. Personally, I think it's a misprint, because every Schnitzer replica I've ever been offered ONLY came in 17x8" and 18x8.5". Hope this helps.

Thanks all.
Pmlmotorsports, I have just started to check out wheels. Not even sure if I am going to change. I need the sachs kits first. Do you have anything like those above in 17" ? I presently running Bridgestone potenza RE 940 225-50zr16

Going from a set of Sumitomo HTR Z-IIs to BFGoodrich GForce T/A KDWs (265/35-18 rear) required me to get my fenders rolled yet again and further than before. The sidewalls on the BFGs bulge out a LOT. The Sumitomos didn't rub, but the identically sized BFGs weren't even mountable.
According to the tire shop guys; this is a pretty common trend with 'asian' versus 'american' tires.
So, just to fill in that bit of information. :)

Ted, if you typed those numbers correctly, you are running too small a tire. You should run a minimum 215/55-16 or preferably a 225/55-16 Hope this helps.

Ya thats what it says on the side walls 225/50zr16. Are the ones you have listed taller and wider? You can kind of see them on my picture above.
