look what i got from Canada Post (updated pics on 1st post)
16x7 Rota Slipstreams! i've actually only received 2 rims today. the other 2 should arrive tomorrow. got these from Urban Import, gave me a good deal. my expected total cost of these with shipping and taxes should come up to $770. i know proparts has a sale on Rotas, you pay $750 and get them in May...too long! other places were saying $900 and get them in mid-April, too much $$$ and too much time.
now, onto finding some black lugs. any suggestions?
my choices are:
Muteki open end (splines)
Kyokugen close end
Spoon replica open end (spoon replica rims, spoon replica lugs
)what do you guys think?
EDIT-went with mutekis and here's pics!
enjoy.

Misinterpretation I'm assuming..By his other set, I believe he meant his other set of 2 wheels .. seeing how he only has 2 of 4 wheels at the moment.
Nice looking rims in any event

Rep Power: 0 Yokohama ES100 205/50 or 205/55, not sure on which would look better. i'd like 215/50 but Yokohama doesnt even have a tire that comes in that size but Kumho 712 does but i want a different tire this time. what do you guys think? and yes i meant i only have 2 of my 4 rims so far.

Rep Power: 0 no, no duties or brokerage or hidden fees, just taxes. Urban is in North Carolina. i had them ship with USPS Airmail which then goes to Canada Post. Canada Post will only charge you on taxes and a $5 handling fee for items less than $1200 CAD. i paid Canada Post about $82 for my rims. its a good way to ship from the states.

Rep Power: 0 USPS(United States Postal Service), not UPS(brown). yes, everything will be taken care of. downside is that it might take some time depending on where its being shipped from. ask to see if tracking number is available as well. yes, USPS has tracking, its on their site. as well, ship AIRMAIL, takes less time.
