There are a few problems with the wheels. Tires are not as described. Wheels are not repolished as told thus rashes all around the front. I have been calling him for 2 days and his phone is off. I checked his profile and he login at least 6 times within the last 2 days. I hope we can resolve this as he was quite nice during the transaction.
Here are some pictures.

Oh my... 
Ken always seemed like a nice guy on the forums, and while I wish I could say that there must have been some sort of miscommunication, I can't believe anyone would actually sell a set of wheels with so much damage!

Ken told me the followings:
1. all tires are P-zero nero with around 9K miles on them. They turned out to be Fuzion ZRi on fronts and P7000 ( completely bald ) on rears.
2. 2 rears are bent at several spots and he never mentioned that. Riteway wheels phone quote $140 and up per wheel to straighten.
3. all wheel were repolish b4 sending out which is not true. I can see curb rashes all alround the fronts.
4. Wheels are made for W208. I hope this is correct.
I paid $1900 +$130 shipping for them. New set without tires is around $3300.

The wheels were so bad that I truly felt sorry for Terry. As far as the $100 repair goes, it's going to cost a lot more then that. Repairs are needed on multiple wheels. Personally, I always thought DPE wheels were on par with HRE and iForged, but after seeing the fit and finish of their wheels I was very disappointed.
Ken is lucky that Terry is such a calm and well mannered person, because had it been me I would have handled things much differently. If Ken was anywhere near being a "man" he would do the right thing and refund Terry's money or at the least refund him the cost of repairs and some cost for the tires.
Karma's a b!tch, just remember that.

Damn! Feel sorry for the guy who bought em..
I was actually going to get his wheels or I should say that I was sooo desperately interested in the wheels, but the deal never happened because it was really hard to get in touch with this guy...
Gud luck!
