I ordered my rims through wheelmax. Was a sucky transaction, with 1 credit cards they claimed was declined. I called them, said not possibly, tried a different one over the phone. Denied. Odd, called credit card company. Both card charged. 3 calls to Wheelmax, got it straightened out, their software screwed up. The guy I worked with in ordering was really cool otherwise.
Ordered the Riax Secas with Kumho 205-40-17's. 2 days later, they arrived. Perfect shape, all lugnuts fit (one guy here had the wrong one, ruined the stud and had to have it replaced). Took itonthe freeway, felt like the were gonna fall off. Called 4 times until I got someone after 10 minutes. Imagine that annoying 18 year old high school dropout who has 3 kids, and lives in the ghetto. Then trow a headset on her. That is the typical crap they have working the "Customer Disservice" department. They told me to take them to be rebalance, and they would reimburse up to $75. Took it to a shop, who advised the wheels were noy dynamically balanced, and the tires had 25 lbs of air in them as well. Once rebalanced, all worked fine.

I personally feel that I would no go back, due to the hassle and crap their evil customer disservice skanks provide. Better off with tires.com or tirerack.com, or even a local shop.
