for the last 2 decades, the only one true to customer service to me is Tire Rack...
I just wish they had a wider, newer and sometimes more bling selection of wheels that you can get from all the other online tire places that publish on magazines. But when these online tires sites or discount tire places that sell racing edge wheels and tires and something goes wrong - like wrong color center caps, no hub centering, backlog of tires without your notification, wrong tire sizes, then good luck writing/calling them and getting any response. I guess I don't feel for sites going down :P

Braid Future 8s. 19x8.5"
They're 19x8.5" all the way around, the offset in the front is 34, and the offset in the rear is a 28, there is a 2" polished lip on the front of the wheels, and a 3" polished lip on the rear.
They didn't rub on my car, which was pretty low on coils, nor did they rub on the PO's Jetta with a 2" drop.
They have Michelin PS2s on them now, the fronts being in good shape, and the rears being utterly toast. The tires are 235/35/19s.
They don't have center caps, and the centers need to be refinished (the place that did them relatively recently did a LOUSY job).
The lips are in good shape, and I'll get pics when I can (they're stacked up in the garage right now).

On Greg Tivadar's Jetta.
Here's info from his original FS post:
"now getting to the details, the Braids new cost me:
750 for the front wheel, each
800 for the rear wheel, each
so a total of $3100 for the wheels plus $350 shipping from Spain, direct from the manufacturer."
This is how the looked on the TT:

<img src="http://www.personal.kent.edu/~cplasket/lowdown.jpg" border="0" />
Again, they don't have center caps, and the centers need to be refinished.
Price is firm at $1k + shipping.

Re: AVOID EDGE RACING LIKE AN STD...Here's why...
the website is down... so I think they are out of business.
I did buy some rims/wheels for my Jetta years ago. could not beat the price.
