Check this link. http://www.ic3.gov/
I got this from ephatch:
Fellow EPHatchers, I had been scammed by an individual, but luckily I had used a bank issued money order sent thru the USPS using Express mail(sig required). After several weeks of no replys I filed a complaint withhttp://www.ic3.gov . As most scams originate from another state the FBI and local authorities got involved. Within 1 week I recieved the pkg. Make sure you make a hard copy of all correspondance and retain all reciepts from payment and any other info, as it will be needed. When you file with the Internet Crime Complaint Center site it will go to the appropriate local sheriffs office for investigation. I just hope no one needs this info!
Hopefully that will help.

Are they the Volks in your avatar? I dig them except for the polished lip. Got to be color-matched for me. I like the wheels, just personal preference on color-mathcing.

I'm just kind of anti-polished lip in general. Don't take it as a slight on your wheels or anything-- I like them, I just wouldn't put them on my car. If they were the same color all the way around, I'd probably be on it.

I think I may just grab a set of RPF1s first. I had some on my EP at the time of the crash & really did love those wheels. I like that they're not terribly expensive & I can run 10.5 rears.

Haha, tire prices would eat my face. I want to go back to school soon.

I'll probably end up with 8.5 fronts.

Either Tire Rack or Discount Tire Direct (can't remember which) only sells the 8.5 for the fronts when you select which car you own.

That's their recomendation, at least. I'm pretty indifferent what size the fronts are, honestly, I just want fat rears. My only concern on the fronts being wider would be the offsets. I don't want spacers or anything.

For you guys who buy wheels, do you buy an extra set of tire pressure sensors or do you just use the ones from the OEM wheels? I like having an extra set of wheels should I need to swap for whatever reason. How much are the sensors?

I will once I'm ready to buy. Like I said, priority one is fixing my ballast & headlight, then after I'll worry about the wheels. It might not be for a few months.

I wonder why they list that as the recomended size.

I'll definitely do some research before I buy.
