Ben,

Go down to the store and inquire. I know Discount Tire can get just about anything you could want.

It gives you an excuse to go drive, so what more could you want? :D

we have like 3 inches, but its been raining freezing rain for like 2 hours, so its bad. i'm glad we have this stuff, no school :D i know we have to make it up, but who gives a s***. i'm gonna continue to look around online for places, cause i remember a buddy of mine knowing a place that had them. but if i can't find them ANYWHERE, i'll call some import places around town and see how much they charge for them.

i just got an idea.:thinker do you think enjukuracing.com could get them for me? they have a section for wheels under what you want to search for, and they dont' have them. but i bet they can get them, since they can get the brembo rotors i want, w/o having them listed.

Ben, do you have a pic you can post? I forget what those wheels look like.

BTW, I just called Discount Tire here in Indy and they said that they may be discontinued.

Call around locally and make sure a local vendor can't get them for you first. If they can't, then I'd start searching elsewhere, like Enjuku. Nice wheels. Do you think they're as expensive as they look?

Ahh Ben, the good old days where you actually get out of school for snow and poor weather...

Treasure them....TREASURE THEM! :help

And I know I'm no help, but I'll say ditch the Enkei's and get some good old SSR's or Racing Harts.. :pface ;)

lol. i do treasure them. i think i have decided to wait on rims, and get a 5speed. i put up a thread in NICO general called "how do you deal w/ your auto transmission" or sumthin like that. read it, and you will understand why.
