Support the site. Give Wheelautohaus.com or tirerack.com a chance.

I have not purchased from either of them, but I did request a price quote from Wheelautohaus.com and was amazed at how low the price was. I actually thought it may have been a typo at first.

EDIT:

I forgot Rishie at www.autornd.com is another site sponsor/vendor. They sell Work/Volk etc.

I just bought the RH pro J5's from wheelautohaus...
They look sweet!!! in the back anyway.
They sent me the wrong offset in the front 35 instead of 38 like punishr has...
kind of makes it the whole thing look stupid cause the center sticks out in the front but there's dish in the back.... I'm trying to exchange them right now, so we'll see if they come through for me...

Hey Gator8, I just PMed you.

BTW, do you have the same 19x10 R with 44mm offset?
If so, is your car lowered any, with what springs/coilovers?

I was too, in fact I started a thread asking for opinions on which wheels to get, the Racing Hart J5-Pro's or the Volk Racing SF Challenge and ended up going with the J5-Pro's.
Now Hurry up next Friday and get here!!!!!!!!!!!!
