[s-cars] ISO: 1 Mille Miglia Emotion SSL, 17x8, 5x112, 35mm offset

[Phil Mische]

Be grateful you're not dealing with Rim & Wheel Works - that woman is a 
psycho bitch who really tried to mess with me when I needed to have 2 Fikses 
modulars straightened.  I'll spare you all the details but they beat the 
hell out of my wheels getting them straight - they looked awful.  When I 
sent them back for them fix the fix she said, after weeks of delays, that 
she'd refund my money but keep my wheels!  It was just bizarre and took a 
lot of  time and energy to resolve; in the end I felt lucky to just get 
hosed and get my wheels back.  I swore I'd take every chance to share my 
story.

I ended up buying new rim parts for mine.  I'm sure the list will provide 
viable vendors for you to try; you are far better off anywhere but Rim & 
Wheel Works.

Structurally, the wheel is sound. The Emotion SSL has a polished
stainless steel lip that is  completely bent up. I took it by Rim and
Wheel Works in Newton, MA today and they said that it was
irrepairable.

I did find a site, www.wheelfind.com, that seems to pair up wheel
buyers and sellers.
