Default Canada connections?

I want to order some CSX Type-S wheels since they will be far cheaper than the Type-R counterparts. Does anyone have any contacts in canada? Or know a good hondapartsdeals-like site from there?

I have a connection here in Canada (note Im also from Canada ), but the rims are $400 CAN each as far as I remember. You can get the EP3-R rims for alot cheaper I think...

Also we are not lucky enough to have any "http://www.hondaparts.com" sites like you guys

***EDIT*** My contact is going to double check the price for me this morning, but the $400 I said above was a special rate for me back in the day...

Okay I got pricing on those rims for you.

***Note that prices are in CANADIAN Dollars***

Retail = $555.45

He can sell them for $425 + tax (which in Canada = 14%), so that equals $484.50 + shipping costs to you.

He said that if there were a few buyers the price would drop a bit.

Hope this helps you out.

To be honest with you. Your probably better off trying to source the EP3-R rims in the US. It will work out to be cheaper for you.

That's gotta be the biggest rip off in the history of OEM wheels. They're not even light.
For that much anyone in their right mind would go buy some volks.

The type-r wheels make sense because they have to be imported and they come from a more limited edition vehicle... i guess thats just the price of some enkei wheels like that.

Yeah I tried finding some type-r ones here but all the ones i find (ebay and such) are the white ones, i dont want the white ones.
