Question about HP evo's?? Alright I think I will buy these rims. But before I do, got some question to those who own a set. How is the quality, the price is kind of throwing me off? Very nice looking rim, but low price, what gives? And what offset and all that will I need. I looked at "the does it fit" thread, but that was like reading latin to me. Any sites with good prices for them, Ive only found one so far, wheelguyz.com. Im mainly concerned on the quality really, does the chrome chip easily, and etc...
The quality of the rims is great especially for the price. They are so cheap because they look like they are two or three piece rims but they are in fact one piece cast aluminum wheels. You can find them on ebay as well for a good price.

Ok, I just bought a set from wheelguyz and here is my experiance. The got there, one tire was not mounted right, would not hold air, and on top of that it was scrached. Opened all four and found two others had a big gouge in them like when they were mounting them it chipped a piece off. So I call them...and call.....and call. Left about 4 messages and the recording said they would contact me within 24 hours....3 days go by so I call again talk to the manager, first he tried to get me to take them locally and get the one remounted, try to "polish" out the scratches and he would refund me $50 on each damaged wheel, I said no way. So after 26 calls later they finally came and picked them up. Now lets see how long it will take to get my new ones here. Sorry so long but don't buy from them, their customer service sucks.

I ordered 18x9 evos dark on 3/28 and was told that it would take 10 days to 2 weeks......2 weeks go by and I start calling. No return phone calls - EVER. Transferred all over, then one person flat out lied to me and told me my wheels had been shipped. Finally, after a month, I bit the bullet and upgraded to the 19x9.5's since a manager finally admitted that they oversold the 18x9's. I had to threaten to cancel the order with my credit card if the 19's didn't arrive within a few days (I only live an hour and half from Wheelguyz). They arrived and appear perfect and look awesome. We'll see how well they're balanced after installation this week. Although, I will say the manager gave me a decent discount on the 19's.
Oh and if someone feels they have to order from wheel guys, here is a hint, if you call and get a quote, don't order call back about 3-4 times, each time they gave me a different quote for the same stuff. I called 6 times and ended up getting them $90 cheaper than the first price I recieved from them.
