Where to buy forgestar rims?

I like these rims because they are different, the style, and they are light weight.

www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=905568

A forum vendor has given me a price but I am still waiting to find out what it might cost with shipping.

I have called several Canadian shops in the area and none of them seem to sell these rims.

Can any of you guys suggest a shop that might sell these, or have connections to great prices?

Rishie is who gave me a price already ($1620). I am waiting for his reply on how much shipping might be to Canada but in the mean time I thought I would try to find a place locally. Unfortunately I have had not success so far.

I did see some cheap 19 inch versions on BMW's, and 350 Z's. Those came with TIRES and were around $1200.

I was trying to get away from 19 inch rims, and I am not sure how screwy things get when you add adapters in to them.

Any idea how quickly they would arrive? Unless you have some crazy channels, it sounds like the wait is 3-4 months

I think I would choose the brushed titanium finish as for the offset I am not sure. I like what Rishie posted but I am unsure how that might work with stock suspension and fenders.

Also I do not need them rims to be super wide as I will likely only see the track a few times in my life. What I do want is the flush look!

Any opinions?

That's what I am looking for. Only problem is price. I've seen a price as low as 1200 if I ship it to a US address ( like a holding company ).

While the price difference is not huge it is noticeable. Also the rims he has for sale are 9.5 inches. I had wanted a staggered set because I'm not sure if 9.5 would rub on the front.

I would need to confirm if they could fit the front and he would have to lower his price to be in my range.
