Holy crap!!! I just called American Racing (Harahan, LA) and got he prices on your wheel choice.
18x8 retails for $375 each
20x10 retails for $500 each
(so retail is normally $1750 for that set)

As per the American Racing rep, turn around time should be 3 weeks or less...so you have an additional 3 weeks in there somewhere?!?!

Now, your $1239 ebay deal is a great price....but I can only assume he is having these shipped directly from American Racing. And they drop ship for FREE....so the shipping was 100% profit.

The wholesale price for your setup is $1224. So the e-bay guy is making $15 on the wheels and $90 on shipping. Not knocking the seller...as he is just barely above wholesale, but he is making his money off of shipping charges.
