Help me find rims.

[[ion] C2]

I want these, or ones extremely similar. Not the Wedsport, far too expensive for me. But these RSL Ikaris are seemingly extremely hard to come by. Might buy alerored04's if he's serious about selling.

They have quite a few wheels that look like that. I don't know about pricing though.

[Cliff8928]

Wow, those TSW VX-1s are old-school. Only thing about those is that they bulge out. You'd have to see them from the side.


How about these? Just need to change the centercaps.

LOL BBS = like 2 month's pay

[Ryan from Ohio]

I got a connection. Let me ask him to have a look at this thread and see if he can get something similar and a price. Hes down here in Toledo to, so it might be worth the small drive.

What size you want????

[[ion] C2]

17 or 18

[Ryan from Ohio]

Ok, i heard back from him. hes checking into it right now.

If you need rubber on them, he can get deals on that too. Any price range on the rubber?

BTW I linked him to this thread.

[Vtolds]

I think the one that 01oldsgls (http://www.aleromod.com/forums/member.php?u=6080) posted matches pretty well and pretty cheap also. Put some nice tires and you can get it for like 900.

[[ion] C2]

^I really don't like those. Heh. Acura TL Type S wheels look quite similar, except the spokes' gap doesn't widen as it goes toward the tire like the Ikaris do. The Enkei RSVs are pretty similar, but the gap between the spokes is a lot thinner. I know TheMeaningOfLife chopped them on his car (http://www.aleromod.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20519)once in gunmetal, looked badass.

@Ryan: Rubber would be nice, Hankook, preferably.

I don't know if this is a legit site but it seems like they actually still sell these wheels:

Maybe not, if you go to the home page, you can't find Ikari wheels anywhere, they don't show up on the ADR page.

If I buy alerored04's for $600, it'll cost me $200 to have them powder coated gunmetal. Woo.

So I found a guy who's selling silver 18" Ikaris perfect condition with tires for $400. Only problem is he's 1400 miles away. What's the best way to ship rims from Florida to Michigan? Lol.

make friends with somebody that works for a shipping company to get their discount.

otherwise dhl will be the cheapest.

[zoL]

Greyhound would be the cheapest most likely.

[alerored04]

I think UPS was only like $120 from PA to MN for mine.

[FrankTheTank]

i paid $40 to ship a set of 18s with tires from OH to WI via fedex. wife's uncle's employee discount ftw.

[JOEY GLADSTONE]

fedex/UPS is fine if they do it right

^^That looks sick!! Get those in 18's and paint the headlights black and you'll be set in the looks department. And I was never a fan of an Alero without a spoiler.....

I have to agree on the without spoiler part, you have to find those wheels Ion.

[[ion] C2]

Yep it's either this guy on the Florida Mitsubishi board of something for $400 + shipping, or alerored04 for $600. Either way I'll get em.

[Ryan from Ohio]

Let my guy see what he can do. I bet he can get the rims brand new in that range. Plus if i understand correctly this is all local, so he will drive over and get them. Then you can drive down to get them put on ;)

And for shipping large heavy stuff DHL man. Price out every which way...

When I was doing sub boxes heavily two summers ago, I started shipping UPS. I checked on DHL and they were about 30-50% cheaper on almost every box to ship...

[[ion] C2]

^Dude, hot. Let me know about 17-18s with and without wheels. Sounds good since we're only 1.5 hrs away from each other hehe.

[TheMeaningOfLife]

Ion, those were Rota Sub-Zero's.

[[ion] C2]

^Oops

[TheMeaningOfLife]

LOl, they look good tho dont they, hahah
