Why are these 19's so cheap?
They look amazing, and the seller has a good feedback rating, plus a 30-day money-back guarantee. Why are they so damn cheap? Don't 19's usually cost twice as much?

Another reason why they are so cheap is because the seller is making you pay 225 for shipping...which would put them in about the same range as the RUff wheels and the such...weird cause i shipped s set of corvette wheels for 45 dollars from fl to ca via ups.

These sellers have definitely found the loophole in the ebay system. No fees for the shipping. New car $.01, shipping $10,000. Also notice that these wheels state usually 10 days shipping time, but allow up to 45 days. (Coming from taiwan more than likely.

On the offset. I saw the same wheels before I got my Hiro's. I would wait and try to buy some used wheels off one of the members on the site or go with Luff or Ruff Racing wheels.
