That's cool

I support & respect ALL low-end wheel manufactures as long as they do NOT make replicas

Go for it, it will look nice

I've had a BAD experience with Victoria Tire. They sent me the wrong bolt patterns and charged me shipping to ship it back to them and it too over a month before I got the correct set. This was back when I was driving an Acura CL.

I ordered online but I put my bolt patterns in the comments section so they wouldn't screw it up and after all of that they still did. Everytime I called they would put me on hold for about 30 mins. to an hour. I was to say the least. So that was my first experience ordering wheels online. I prefer to order from local guy and that way if they mess up, I have someone to and go on. J/K

Sorry you had such a bad experience. That really sucks. My first set I ordered online from Boyd Coddington and it was a PITA. Wrong bolt pattern and the finish on it has hi polish but looked like ****. Sent them back and the second set actually fit but I wasnt happy with the finish. They basically said too bad and so I was pretty much stuck. Then I went to Wheel Tec in tampa for the next 2 sets of wheels, 1 for the durango and 1 for the GS and everything was perfect. My next set of wheels will be through a vendor here on CL though.
