Are they reputable? Were you satisfied?

I've bought a replacement wheel from those guys for a MB CLK. no complaints, wheel showed up reasonably quickly and looked as good as new.

I do not want to discourage you but I found that most 'OEM replacement' wheels actually come from company named LKQ corp.
Place I wanted to get wheels in same price rang as yours was just a coverup store for them, actual order was to LKQ.

LKQ was sued by several Detroit brands for selling originally branded counterfeit parts. So, you may get good looking almost as good as real one wheel or you may get complete junk. Difficult to predict. There were also several Chinese manufacturers affiliated with LKQ. So, decide for yourself. Price I found for those other wheels was in same ballpark with yours - around of $256 for 19" 5-spike.

I decided to send them to hell and got OZs botticellis (ultraleggera is out of stock) from tirerack - just received them and they look absolutely gorgeous in matte titanium finish that was listed on tirerack as 'bright silver paint'. Funny.
