alumastar rims from rpm any good?

I've read somewhere else that these rims don't properly fit our cars eventhough they say for 05 and up. Anyone buy this wheel tire combo or heard anything about them?

Be carefull with rpm. They will take your money as soon as the order is placed even if they don't have it in stock or can even get it. Then you may or may not recieve your order. Then try to get your money back, it might take months if ever.

I've been very lucky dealing with RPM outlet on occasion, BUT there have been A LOT of people that have gotten screwed by them...... buyer beware.

the 15 inch rear wheels do not fit our cars, even though they state they do. They hit the calipers and the sway bar. i have them sitting in my garage now and am trying to get them exchanged with the 17 inch ones. i am not holding my breath. i figure i just learned the hard way about them. the fronts fit fine.

Wait for the Welds. The 15x10 with 6" backspacing should be available very soon. It'll stick out just a bit (though that will be fine if you're not lowered). The 15x10 with 7" backspacing should be available late summer I believe, and that will fit perfectly.

Or, there's always Bogarts. Lethalperformance.com sells them. They're not cheap, though.
