Thats where I got mine. They ended up being Genuine Ford wheels too. But that was 3 years ago. Not sure if you will have the same luck.
Any idea how much they are in states?

About 25% more now then they were 3 months ago:
Quote:Date 1 USD -> CAD 1 CAD -> USD
16/07/2008 1.0017ÃÂ 0.9983
23/10/2008 1.2573ÃÂ 0.7954
I wouldn't buy anything from the states these days.
I thought a lot of ppl knew this. Those awful fancy chrysler rims with the plastic coated alloy, well that alloy rots out from inbehind it after a year lol. All chrome coating does the same, starts from the hub were most the of the moisture and vibration is, slowly disappearing. When I did tire work, I would always grind down the lips of the rim where the two beads sit on because I tell you some of them were just f***ed. Some customers had to buy new rims, they were so bad. In other cases I had to put bead sealer on the beads of the tire then mount up because the I knew the rim wasn't going to last another year, but some ppl don't have money and are on a low budget. You can only work with what you got.

so the ironic moral of the story is: you actually end up paying more if you start cutting corners lol
