Yes you were. Below are some of my responses to your PM's. Do not try to make me look like a dishonest seller- numerous people PM'd me about these, and I told them what they can and can't get away with in terms of ride height, etc.

Good to hear- did you go for hyper light or hyper dark? I have actually decided to hold onto the wheels for a while (until my new ones are in).
The fronts won't rub at all because the offset is perfect. The rear won't rub at stock height, and they will be fine with an Eibach drop. If you go lower than that, expect to roll the fenders (that's an easy $50 job that I would do regardless as a precaution).
Good luck- can't wait to see them on your black car!

Hey, you don't have any rubbing issues at all? I plan to lower the car a little. Not a major drop, but a subtle. Thanks.

I did have to roll the rear fenders, but that was because I was anticipating a very aggressive drop. At this point, I'm not accepting offers under my asking price.
I've got quite a few offers, but nobody that has paid as of yet. Additionally, I'm trying to work out a deal with someone local that would let me use their stock wheels until my custom ones come in.
I suggest you do what I did- buy the rims first (I found someone (unfortunately after I bought) who sells them for $1,000 shipped). Wait until you have enough disposable money for tires, and at that point buy the tires/sell your OEM wheels. I got $1,200 for my OEM 18's.
Good luck!

Enough everyone. The wheels should work with a stock height and fine as long as you don't lower below Eibach drops.

Here is mine, everything is stock and it won't rub.
Why is Vodka dishonest, I asked him about these wheels when i was going to order them, and he told me the exact same thing, "If you drop it, then it will rub." So without any drop it wont rub, end of story.

None of your claims have anything behind them, so if you can't come up with a reason to call me dishonest, then refute your claim and STFU! Same goes to your sources who supposedly know something...
