Anyone out there have Auto Art wheels?

Does anyone out there have Auto Art wheels or does anyone have feedback on this brand of wheel in general? Here's a link to the wheels I'm interested in: http://www.hdautoart.com/AAVYHYPER.htm

These wheels will be for my '06 997S. For 19" application, what do you recommend for wheel width front and back? I'd like to fit a 305mm wide tire on the back. What respective offsets would you recommend to move the wheels out toward the fender lip. The stock offset on my lobsters are very conservative, and I'd rather get the proper offset rather than deal with spacers.

Thanks in advance.

Yeah i was thinking the same thing...autoart makes great model cars, but I had no idea they make wheels. Like others said I would go with a more well known wheel manufacturer or at least wait to get feedback on them.

Here's a link to the ad that piqued my interest in these wheels:

http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=3417160

Auto art introduces their new line-up of 3-pc wheels. The wheels utilize Forged Lips (outers), Forged Barels (inners) and pressure cast centers with each being custom made for your specific application. There are four colors available at no extra cost, and custom finishes are available. Please call if you have any questions regarding any of the Auto art wheels.

Hot Wheels too? Oh boy... well based on scale model quality I'd take an AutoArt rim over some Hot Wheels anyday.
