I have a set of these wheels from that seller.
My experience was just fine.
I've developed a theory about where they are coming from...
My theory is that somebody got their hands on some OEM casts from Ford. How? I have no idea. But this guy has been selling them for quite some time now.
I think there is somebody in SoCal knocking these wheels out for this guy. No, I don't have any basis for this idea. 
Oh yeah, congrats on the wheels, they rock!

I really don't believe this theory at all. They are too "perfect" and somewhat "imperfect" for it to be true. First off the inside of the rims in the spokes is grey, which to cast, then paint/powdercoat/then clear would be way, way too expensive.
And second, one of my wheels, as many of the people who bought them will say, have a long kinda scratch in the clear around the outside of one or two rims. Ford would call them imperfect definitely.
My thought is they were either purchased from like a warehouse that closed, bought them wholesale from Ford as rejects, or they're definitely "hot".
It would just take too much effort to make them worth it for only $25 a wheel. It would cost more than that in materials alone.
