JDM wheel importers in canada?

Ok i've been on the lookout for some wheels for my fc and i've found alot of importers but they are all down in california and shipping and duty will kill me.

Do you guys know of any good websites that are situated in canada? I'm sure the west coast must have some but I can't seem to find any

Not a clue, but *shameless plug* if you're interested in a set of 17" 5zigen Typhoons let me know. =D I'm sure a couple local shops can order you a set if you really wanted.

You can select the year and color of your car and see what the wheels/rims look like on the car.
If you can get out to Cheap Thrills in Milton, they have lots of used rims for sale and at reasonable prices too!
They are open on Monday/Wednesday/Friday,
and from 10:00 am till 1:00 or 2:00 pm on Saturdays.

I got mine on eBay Canada - still a great place to look.




Honestly, your best bet for used wheels is on club websites. Non car-specific clubs like Revscene, MontrealRacing, Redliners will have classified sections. But more specifically look at car club websites who share the same bolt pattern as Rx's, like the 240 / Skyline. There are a whack of Canadian 240 and skyline forums, just do an internet search - then go through their classified sections there - you'll be surprised what you'll find.

There are also a lot of car import places (especially in BC) who sell parts. http://www.getjdmcars.com/catalog/index.php comes to mind but there are a bunch of them out here - any yellowpages search will find them!

Good luck!

post up some pics if you don't mind... I'm not just looking for "JDM" wheels. I'm looking for some specific designs and styles and it seems that japanese importers seem to get those wheels.
