I paid the $2K with a Visa debit, then the next day another $165, then yet another charge on the same card $50.00 later that day. So, the set of rims that I agreed upon for $2000, actually cost me $2235.

OH MY GOD, I forgot the best part! I talked to this guy for like a week or so. He told me about these wheels, and I was going to pass on them and get some others. SO, to be a nice guy I told another member that wanted Moabs to call this guy that this was a good deal for some Moabs (http://www.300cforums.com/forums/members/lennoxavesosa.html was interested in these wheels).

This member called him, he wanted them to be PCoated black. Aurthur told him $2500.00 shipped (PC cost the dealer like $150 max). Sooooo, the member passed on the wheels and actually went with a set of used Lucres from a member on this site for $2000.

So, I change my mind, and call them that now I want the Moabs and let's do the deal... Aurther (Allstarrims) tells me he has to charge me an extra $230.00 (he says Tax and Shipping) because that is what the other member was going to pay, and he wanted to make more "PROFIT" off of me... LOL, I tell a guy to call Aurther to do him a a favor, and I get F'd for $230.00 - Funny thing the extra money he was going to make was not even real, because the member already bought a different set!!!

wow man im terribly sorry. and to think i was about to purchase them, kinda scares me to think I could be the one in your position now. that is definatly some ****ty customer service, and when i called and spoke with some moron over there...the whole thing seemed a lil shady to me (i guess thats why i didnt go through with it-seemed too good to be true).
that extra 250 is a kick in the pants, but i hope your happy with your rims. looks like this is another company to stay away from.

265/35/20 is a small wheel diameter. Only 27.3 inches vs the stock 28.63 inches. The wheel gap will get even worse with the 265/35/20's.
Your speedo is also going to be way off with the smaller 265's.
Per this online calculator, when your speedo says 65 mph, you will only be going 62 mph.

I don't know what was said between whoever dealt with Authur or Steve from Allstarrims.com but I jsut got my TIS 03s in today after 2 mohts of waiting. Mark you the first set were stolen at the Army Post office in NY. Damn!!! Anyway, After talking with Steve about the issue they sorted out the insurance piece of the pie then shipped my wheels to me with the next two weeks which sumed up the wait time to 2 months. Too bad I am stationed in Germany and not in the states. But to you guys who do live in the states I really dont think these guys are as awful as one may read as they delivered to me and I am satisfied. Just my .02
