Default Anyone ever buy from Wheelsnext.com ???

I just ordered a wheel/tire package from them and was wondering if anyone had any experience with their service and delivery time. They are having a Memorial Day weekend Sale so I ordered:

HP Racing EVO - Hyperblack 18x8 with 2" Lip and with 225/40/18 Kuhmo ECSTA 711 tires

The original sale package was for $899 which included the new Fierce HP tires made by Goodyear but for $50 more, the upgrade included the Kuhmo ECSTA 711 tires so my wheel and tire package came out to a total of $949 shipped. Should I have stayed with the new Fierce HP tires???

And BTW....NO, I am not trying to promote Wheelsnext.com....I am simply trying to get a buyers point of view if anyone has ever dealt with them in the past.

Is this a good deal??? I know earlier this month I was asking about what wheel I should go for and I showed some options and alot of you chose the 5 spoke design...but I decided to go the Euro mesh wheel look instead.

Default THANKS.....I called Wheelsnext again....>>>

my buddy talked me into switching from Hypersilver to the now "HyperBlack" as he says it would look better on my silver body color rather than have everything silver/silver as the wheels would stand out a bit more if they were Hypersilver or even just black....The more I think about it, its seems to make a bit sense to not go silver on silver. I want the wheels to stand out.

Default question?

I am shopping the same set but I am also looking at the HP-R5s in Gun Metal Grey. Has has anyone tried the wheeel configurataion offered in the wheels next wheel/tire package? They offer a package with 18x8 in front and 18x9 in the rear. How does that affect drivablility?
Thanks.

Default I thought about getting that package they offered but I keep reading mixed opinions....>>>

when running staggered wheels on a quattro. Something in regards to the overall diameters having to be equal for front and rear?...I could be wrong so someone might pop in and correct me.
