Can anyone tell me where I can find either 18" M5 replicas or Miro 167 replicas or any other <$800 set of 18" rims for my Michelin Pilot Alpin 18" tires (left over from my last E60). I only have the tires and they're in great shape so I don't want to go buy a new set of rubber...I simply need to find a set of 18" rims. I've called around and it feels like I'm looking for plutonium! Any ideas?

Try Active Green and Ross in Brampton....On Kennedy Road. Also did you try Superior Tire on Keel, in Toronto?
Also, you try eBay?
Thanks

Thanks
51 views and one suggestion!!
Either all 51 folks have never bought rims locally
all 51 folks weren't from Toronto viewing a thread asking for a place to buy rims in Toronto
Or just being timid!? lol....
Anyway.....Thanks Migo

from my experience in Canada, its better to by online then locally for rims and most mods for that matter. Better selection, better pricing and if from a vendor better knowledge of our cars. But maybe things are different in T.O., theres nothing out here in Saskatchewan.

There is a place in Brampton (Car Kraze) which will have them most likely. Quick google should have their number. Good service, good prices. I had some reps for my Mercedes there, and the paint peeled so they replaced them.

Try tires23.
http://www.tires23.com/pages/wheels.html
Btw, I had bad experience at Tiremag this past year. The installer (kid looks like he is in his early 20's) scratched up 2 of my rims real good when installing new set of summer. Never again I will go back.
Steve disputed the damage done by the installer and I have no recourse over the matter.
