Wheel woes...

God this is soooo hard. Ok, so after about two weeks of stressing myself out over picking rims, I finally decide to go with Rota Sub-zeroes in Flat Black.

Ok, so I call up a few places...no one has them. But then I call a shop called HyperPerformance. Talk to this guy there, and he says he can get them. No problem...great...I'll be by there tommorow.

So I go by there and they can't get them. Ok, maybe I them online...I serach...and search and can't find them.

Wait...what's this?! Groupbuycenter has them!

Well, they do, but I'll have to wait 6-8 weeks for it. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]

Not a bad rim. They weigh very little. What size you going for? 16's?

Hwoody77 - Glad you finally decided whether or not to go with 16s. LOL. Sorry, I should have checked out the GBC offer before I recommended them. LOL. BTW - This is D17A7th

I was going to go with 15in rims for the weight but then I couldn't get the ones I wanted for several months. I have decided on the 16 subzeros in silver. Modacar(sp?) has them. I emailed for a quote with a different tire then what they were offering and they told me it would be 40 more dollars, so 760 before shipping. Then, I emailed for total with shipping and they said 995. I was like wow, over 200 bucks for shipping! Checked the site and they raised the price over a 100 bucks for the package! Anyhow, GB has the best price with tires at the moment. Cheapest for the rims alone was machIII at 500 shipped.

if you cant find them now, you might end up having to replace all 4 someday if one gets damaged and you cant find a replacement anywhere
