Man, I hate the thought of this being my first post but I gotta let ya know... (I apologize if I posted in wrong place)
I just wanted to let ya'll know to beware of an Ebay store, O E Wheel Distributors.
I was looking for wheels for my 06 GT, I came across an Ebay store called O E Wheel Distributors. I saw a set of 18x9 Gunmetal Saleen wheels w/Chrome Rivets, awesome looking wheels. The discription stated that they would fit 1994-2005 Mustangs, so I called them using their toll free number to inquire if these wheels would fit an 06, I was told that they would fit, "no problem", so I made the order right there on the phone. (Can't leave negative feedback on Ebay now)
I received the wheels about a week later, to find out they have a 24mm offset which I found out should be 36mm for the 05's and 06's. I called them and told them that the wheels do not fit an 06 Mustang properly, they told me "they will fit, it may not be to your liking". They refuse to accept that they were wrong and expect me to pay for shipping and restocking. If all that isn't bad enough, the owner of this outfit has no respect for their customers.
I will be filing a complaint with the BBB, which I found out O E Wheels, already has an unsatisfactory record with them. So please beware.

I bought my set from a local dealer that sells that brand. The set I have are for the 05-06 cars. I don't have any problems with mine. It sounds like you got the set made for the 94-04 models. If you paid by a credit card have them dispute it. You were definitely sold a set of wheels that do not correctly fit the 05-06 mustangs.

I've heard bad things about them from time to time. It wasn't about customer service, but about the quality of the wheels themselves. That was a year or so ago, so the quality issue may have been resolved, but sounds like they have some people working there giving out bad information and they aren't taking responsibility where need be.
I personally would never buy from them after hearing the negative experiences. I hope you work yours out though, and thanks for the heads up to those members who maybe were thinking of buying.
