It sucks cause there really arent a lot of options for us so like you said, lots of people end up getting the same wheel. Even if someone else finds a good new wheel that fits our car, next thing you know everyone buys them and then the cycle repeats.

I've got two 18x9.5 Ruff 278's for sale. I accidentally ordered two sets of rears, so i had to go back and order a set of fronts and now I have two extra wheels. These are the Hyperblack finish with polished lip. Brand new not even removed from boxes.

PM me if you are interested or for more info.
