RIM Question - I know you guys love these... ;-)

I'm not able to find a replacement for my bent Axis VPD, so I've been looking around at other RIMS. I'm looking for a black RIM and I like the following:

http://www.altwheels.com/Products/at267.htm

Do any of you have an opinion on ALT RIMS as far as quality is concerned?

Additionally I have been doing some research on 17" RIMs and tire sizes and I have a couple more questions:

I currently have a set of Axis - Lenso VPD RIMS - 17"/ 7" (Gunmetal) for my 1992 Toyota Camry.

The information for them is as follows:
The Factory Bolt Pattern - 5 x 114.3
Hub - 60.1
Offset - High
Lug - 12 x 1.5
Tires - 215/45 R17

I have the following tires that I'm going to put on the new RIMS:
Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 / 225/45 R17

I also have a set of Eibach Pro-Kit Springs.

I'm wondering is I can put the 225/45 R17 tires on the Sonixs. If I can, am I going to have any problems with them rubbing.

I am also wondering if I will need a set of hubcentric rings for the RIMS.

Any help with these questions would be greatly appreciated.

The tires will fit fine. The wheels will fit with the correct offset. Yes you'll need the hubcentric rings.

EKAM,
The RIMS are available in either a 35 or 42 offset. They suggest 35. Is that what I should get?

Would these be the correct hubcentric rings?

Does it matter if I get the plastic or aluminum ones?


XRS22,
I found them for about half what most sites are charging:

$125.00 Each + $80.00 Shipping = $580.00

Tell Sheldon that you heard about them on the Toyota Nation web site.

I AM NOT GETTING ANY TYPE OF DEAL FOR REFERRING PEOPLE.
