Anybody know where I could find the best price on these. I am looking for 18's.

So far, I found them for 3200.00 shipped for polished and 3600.00 shipped for chrome. They say it takes around 4 weeks for polished and 8 weeks for chrome. I am checking to see if someone knows where I might find them for a better price. Its a long shot, but can't blame me for tryin.

Thanks for ANY info.

PM me if you have to.


**edit** I have done some searching and found someone with a fitment/backspacing problem. If someone could please let me know what I need to be aware of when I place my order. Looking to get 18's

Thanks again

It depends on if you want the 2 piece or the 3 piece wheels. I bought the 2 piece wheels and they look awsome. They dont make the 2 piece in half sizes though. I ordered 18x9 for up front and 18x10's for out back. I ran a 275/35 up front and a 295/35 out back. I recived one of the first few sets in 2003 and it took 13 weeks from the time of order till i recieved them. The best prices i could find was this site

There price before shipping on the polished ones is $2606 with rivets in a 18x9 and 18x10.
Heres mine before i sold them...... im going 17's next time.

18x10's out back w/ a 295/35

Off topic, Kyle, why may I ask are you stepping down from 18's to 17's?

Weight....... The 18's are heavy....... I like the look but i also want to have a taller sidewall. You can really feel the difference between a 35 series tire and 40 series. I will probably go 2 piece again and get a 17x9 up front with a 275/40 and a 17x10 and stuff a 315/35 out back. Who knows..... I might just go cheap and get a set of smoothie II's.

Ulysses, Don't bother yourself with the polished (TO hard to Keep looking good!) Go for the Chrome! JMO.

BUT......Chrome pits and then it all goes to hell and your out 2.5 to 3k on wheels.............. Polishe you can let it go and you can always bring it back.......I will never go chrome again....... Polished looks just as good. Im looking at the Flux this time... 6 spokes....

what offsets are on your old rims

I spoke with Charles @ Wheels Boutique and he said that the Iforged chrome quality is not all that great. I think if I apply some Zoop Seal on the polished finish, it will stay clean for a long time. He also said that the polished finish looks chrome??

I was also looking at this wheel ( Budnil Tiller )

If you're looking at the Aeros, don't forget about the Intro GT Sports. My 17" 2-piece were $1550 shipped for the set. I'm happy with them.

I Zoopsealed them too. Hopefully I applied it right. Stuff's kind of a pain. For that kind of money, it had damn well better last too.

Thats a good price. Im doing a Google search for them right now.

Thanks

Are the polished rims clearcoated?

Where did you buy them from and what sizes can you get? Can you get a 17x11 out back?
Bos, My polishd wheels were not clearcoated. Im a nut i wash the car daily and the wheels and i wax the car and polish the wheels every weekend.

Looks like no 17x11 available from them..

Chrome piting is very rare I have never seen it on any wheels I've had. You can polish them all you want, but they water spot so much easier ETC... If they have bad chrome plating that may be another issue. I would think that a reputable company would have a good Plater doing the work. I have owned many of both and by far the chrome wheels are far easier to maintain! I won't be going back to the long hours of polishing like I used to do. Even if I don't drive it every day. JMO. And every one has one of those. Have fun picking out your new wheels!

BIGBOS

Yea, I need the chrome, I done with the polished unclearcoated deal, I've gone through hell and back w/the prostars, and now I have to do it all over again.....

Wow, I really like a couple of their designs - I just wish they were one-piece. I don't much care for the riveted look.
