If you're talking about Highline in Fla, I wont give you my opinion, just tell you my experience. Bought a set of new rims for my winter tires (2001 turbo Jetta) They were cheap,but they charged $99 to ship from Bklyn to NJ--about 35 mi. The "professionals" there(thats what they called themselves) didnt know that the rims wudnt fit my car (Hub rubbed against caliper) and had to get me spacers. Then the lug nuts they sent were too short because of the spacers & they swore they wud fit. They sent another set of lugs which were the wrong size/wrong thread/too small diameter. Finally, after advising my credit card company that I'm not paying the bill, I got them to send the correct lugs. This took 2 months from when I purchased the wheels. And after a couple months, the clearcoat started flaking off/wheels started pitting, even though I put about 3 coats of wax on the wheels before I mounted them. All I can say is good luck if you do business with them
