Default Wheel questions?

http://customwheelsmarket.com/cwm-top-1119-7961s.html

Does anyone know anything about this vendor?
Has anyone ever tried this wheel on their vette?
Would this wheel fit my 89?
The offset is just a bit different so will the wheel sit farther out than stock wheels?

Thanks for any answers!

Those wheels are 17X9 with a 6.8 inch back spacing, 2.2 inch out from the rotors.

On a nomal 17X9.5 with a 56mm offset, the back space is about 7.5 inch and about 2 inch out from the rotors.

So, those wheels will be sticking out about, less than a 1/4 inch more than a stock wheels.

Thanks, I thought the 1/2 in width vs the offset were just about a wash, now if anyone chimes in about the vendor that would help.
