Don:  After odreirng a new set of Chinese alloys from Tire Rack, I
vomited when i saw the lack of quality and sent them back.  Spent $360
on ebay and got a set of 4 forged aluminum alloys used off of a 98-02
Mercedes CLK and never looked back.  They were 7x16's though. Drilled
out the stud holes to 9/16" and added longer studs to the front discs.
forget the offset, but it was within the boundaries of acceptable......ymmv
