There is an Ebay seller (screen name wheelindex), has a couple other aliases as well, Eagle Wheels, RepWheels, has a website WheelReplicas.com, the owner is a guy named Jeff Oldham. First I had ordered a set of Cobra R type wheels for my Fox body Stang and the fitment was terrible, if you looked down the side of the car the front stuck out much further than the backs and if you turned the wheel to one side, not even all the way, it would hit the lower control arm, after only a couple weeks driving like that it ruined my control arm and shredded the inside lip of the rim. I ended up selling that car so never bothered to contact the company about their crappy wheels. In any case I have a 94 GT now and I was looking at the Saleen wheels online and of course this company sells a nice looking set so I contacted them again and asked about fitment because of the previous problem I had, well let me tell you, first they would not even admit any fault in their rims and became insulting and combative. What kind of professionalism is that, here I am giving them the opportunity for business even after a bad experience and they treat me like a piece of $hit. Please don't give this company any of your hard earned money, they don't deserve it the way they treat people, not too mention poorly crafted rims!
Just a heads up, if your looking at rims on ebay. My boyfriend bought a set from a seller named Nateswheels. "Nates" reps told my bf that the wheels would fit NO PROBLEM after he told him the year/model etc of his car. The wheels did not fit properly, they needed wheel spaces (not that big of a deal) but we had a hell of a time trying to find ones to fit his car. After he finally got them on he had wrote Nateswheels to tell them of his problem, and the added costs he had to spend. They declined to offer any solution so he left a negative feedback. The next day "Nate" who is the owner of this company called my bf at work to call him a f**king pr*ck and cussed him out. We went on to look at his feedback score again and read that he had called someone else to cuss them out for leaving negative feedback. I would have to say he is not professional at all.
Wow, thats terrible. I've come across similar situations with Ebay sellers, what they used to do is not leave feedback until you left yours and if it was negative they would leave you negative feedback as well and then contact you and say they would retract their if you retracted yours. Ebay finally got hip to this game and changed the wasy feedback works and a seller can no longer leave neg feedback to a buyer. Sorry to hear about your boyfriends troubles as well. Some good deals can be found on Ebay, but there are also plenty of unscrupulous people preying on the innocent. Good luck to you.
Jeff here. Many of you have bought from us in the past and I thank you for your patronage.
As all may guess there are two sides to every story. The above makes it sound like we have many aliases and are trying to hide (?)
The above customer was trying to leverage us for a better deal on wheels & tires outside of ebay, and threatened to post comments on forums.
I have had 6 fox Mustangs, run Steeda, Eibach and Motorsport springs in various combinations. This customer had Eibach springs. Eibach states a 1.5 inch drop, but even with new isolaters they go further than that from my personal experience. I even asked if he had changed the isolaters as used ones will make them sit even lower (no response).
Maybe we did not handle him with "childs mits", and could have handled him better. At the same time, many of you that work with the public in retail or other probably know the feeling one gets with responses like below. He never calls to report a problem, calls our product crappy, but now wants a set at a rock bottom price.
Here are a quote(s) from his emails:
"I see the auction for the wheels and tires ends in about 6 hours. Any way you could offer me a better deal on those outside of Ebay, it will save you final value fees and such and would be a good faith offering from the last set of rims that trashed my A-Arms and got eaten up."
"I am well respected on several Mustang forums across the internet and I would not want to have negative things to say about you company. So, so far you have been rude to me and refused to accept any responsibility for the damage your last set of rims caused me or even apologize for it and you refuse to offer any kind of incentive for me to purchase a new set of wheels from you now."
Moderators - I understand if you need to freeze me or otherwise due to posting a response. Customers or potential customers are always welcome to call and talk, ask questions or anything else.

I'm not defending that company, don't know them, but if you didn't like the way they fit, I would have taken them off immediately or gotten on the phone immediately, not try to drive on them...
Do you buy underwear from WalMart, get upset because it rides up your crack, and try to get a better deal on a 10pk when you need to go buy more? Just doesn't make sense to me.

Which rims did you order? I know if you can't put 17x9's on all 4 corners w/o spacers on the front. I had the same issue. I had to run a 1/4 spacer on the front and they rubbed all over. You really shouldn't run anything wider than 8" in the front unless you plan on doing some fender work and have a bump steer kit installed. I was just looking at their wheels and they look pretty nice. eBay Motors: Saleen Mustang SC wheels 17x9 & 17x10 Deep Dish 4 lug (item 120363786005 end time Jan-17-09 16:19:01 PST)
They offer a 17x8 17x9 kit that i'm looking into...
