Nah, please don't black list this shop. Those who bought good wheel never complains and we've never heard from them. We only hear from those who has problem.
We might only black list 166 style with those made in eastern EU or Asia.

cars now are designed from the wheels and up, so putting aftermarket wheels on your car would probably cause all of this because there were made specifically for that car for certain speeds, terrain, size of the car, engine type etc

I got my aftermarket wheels from DTM AutoWorkes(its an ebay shop). Apparantly, i think a couple others here have bought wheels from them as well so i wont put the blame on them.

Next time, im definately not going with aftermarket wheels!!! I have learned my lesson!!!

I doubt when they designed the Bentley GT they revolved all engineering aspects of the car around the 18inch wheels
