yeah, but I was thinking if I could avoid the exchange rate/customs, I'd like to do that before trying to bring them in from the states.

The authorized dealer in Toronto is Wheels Direct http://www.wheels-direct.com Take my advice and buy them in the US. It cheaper, and its lesshassle than dealing with Wheels Direct. They suck period. The wheels are never in when promised, and their prices are uncompetitive with buying them in the US, paying the shipping, taxes and brokerage fees + duty (since they are made in the Philippines)

As an example. my 17x7.5 Rota subzeros would have cost me $600 US shipped from http://www.machiii.net or http://www.revolutionsmotorsports.com. Wheels direct wanted $280 CAD per rim which is more than buying from the US, and they are always weeks late in getting the rims in

I bought my Rota Attacks with Falken tires from http://www.machiii.net and it was cheaper than anywhere I could have gotten from Canada... In fact I don't even know of anyplace in Canada (esp. locally) that carries them.

When purchasing wheels in Canada, you will not only be paying the same or more on the shipping, exchange, duty, and tax (because the dealer has to pay it too), but you will pay for his markup as well. Dealer's don't get good 'deals' on these wheels, as their name may imply.

I got my SSR Comps from Tirerack, paid $3500 CDN approx for everything. If I had got them in Canada, they would have cost me $3800 plus shipping.
