Has anyone ever bought wheels from this site?

On my wife's Cobra I have a pair of FRPP USA-made 17x8 Bullitts on the front and a pair of Chinese-made 17x10.5 Bullitt replicas on the rear. The clear coat on the rear lips started to peel so I sent them out to my wheel guy to have the clear stripped and the lips polished on all four wheels. There is a noticable difference in the color of the bare aluminum between the front and the rear. My wheel guy said that the fronts were very high quality aluminum and that the rears "appear to be made out of recycled pop cans" and took a ton more work to make look decent.

I have had Pony R's on my 'vert for 7 years now. They are also made in China. There are chips that have flaked off of the spokes on three of the four wheels and I can see where more chunks are going to come off soon. I am planning on replacing them with OE Ford wheels when I do a 5-lug swap in the near future.

I beleive that is the company that I bought my 17" Deep Dish Bullitts from back in 06. If so, I was happy with the way the wheels looked and fit. They arent the same as, nor are they intended to be the same as factory Bullitts. Every aftermarket Bullitt wheel is of a slightly different style than the factory ones, and it looks retarted to combine the two. The aftermarket Bullitts even in 17x9 form have a much deeper dish than the factory ones and it looks better. Do it right and get a matching set of 4.

Never had anybody say this looked retarded before:

The paint matches very well and they look fine on the car, but when you put them side by side, you can see that the quality of the aluminum used is very different when you look at the polished areas.
