Source for 451 style 20 inch wheels?

Does anyone know where I can get a set of 451 20 inch rims online? I've found the autorimshop.com - Anyone have any experience with them? Likely will need a set ASAP. Thanks.

I wrote about my experience with Auto Rim Shop recently on this thread:

http://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1412219

I bought a set of "refinished like new" 469Ms with tires from them. Despite multiple emails and confirmations that they would not ship while I was away on vacation, they did, and I had to call UPS and pay to reschedule the delivery. Then the wheels arrived and were awful. I'll attach a few pics. One had been so heavily refinished there was no indentation for the ///M emblem left. All had pits, dents, and runs in the finish. One of them wasn't even holding air on arrival.

They acknowledged the poor quality and agreed to source another set. After 10 days of waiting for them to find another set I said refund me, which they agreed to once the wheels were back at their warehouse. Then I had to repackage the wheels, pay to have UPS pick them up (despite them assuring me the labels they provided would include a pick up so I wouldn't be charged) and wait 2 more weeks for a refund. They refused to reimburse me for the UPS rescheduling or pick charges, or the packing materials cost. Overall, pretty terrible company.

Actually it worked out for the best because for about $1000 more than I paid for these crappy "refinished like new" wheels I got these with 50 miles on em. Big thanks to Jesse at PK Auto Design for making the deal happen. Been meaning to post about that...
