I had very bad luck with TireRack for wheels. Ordered a set (ASAs maybe?) for winter wheels, and they had been badly damaged when TireRack mounted the tires. Scrapes all over, etc. The TireRack rep told me I shouldn't expect them to be in great condition because they were "cheap" wheels. Getting them returned was a hassle, as well.

I've purchased a couple sets of wheels from Tire Rack and always arrived in perfect condition.
For my S4 I almost purchased the O.Z. ultraleggra's at $348 each. Vmr came thru at the last minute so I went that way.
In my experience, I wouldn't hesitate to use tire rack.

I just received the Elbrus I06 with Dunlop Sport 3Ds. They definitely look better online than in person, look pretty cheap compared to the OEM 19"s. But gotta love Tire Rack, no issues with the order, great service as always.

Now you're scaring me cause that's exactly the package I was going to get. Can you explain better in what way do they look cheap?

I ended up getting the black machined version of the Elbrus. The black looks cheap, and the silver is more chrome than the look of the stock 19's brushed aluminum. They don't look horrible, and hell, they're for the winter tires, hoping they won't be on more than 4-5 months/year. But I probably would spend a bit more and get more attractive wheels if I could do it over again. Here are some pics, not the best quality as they're from my phone.
