Try these online dealers.

tirerack.com
wheelsnext.com

both places offer wheel and tire packages and will ship them to you already balanced. All you need to do is put em on your car.

Tire rack will actually set you up with a certified shop to have them put on your car if you like.

good luck.

Will they have the TPMS installed also or is that something I need to have someone else do?

You would probabaly need a shop to do that, but I never asked them to change mine. Give em a call and see what they can do. IMO, if you go with Tire Rack, any shop they set you up with can probably do the swap.

I thought you were planning on getting a set of those mesh wheel...advan garde were they? If you're gonna spend $1900 get something better than TSW. That price is pretty standard though for a quality set of wheels. With tires and install expect to spend around $3000. If you get your wheels from tire rack they have a tpms service but it's like $400 so you mind as well get new ones from the stealership. I ordered some from eBay and hopefully they'll sync up with my car without any hiccups.

I was but I do not want to run coils to have a concave look,. I still have been talking to Eric about still getting my wheels from him, But I want something with a rear lip, The Mesh Avant's are NASTY just will not fit my car right. Damn X. -

So I have been looking at Concept 1's RS8'S, an TSW - Nardo's-Snethertons. Still have not made my mind up, But shopping for the best price I can find..

Why would you have to run coils to have a concave look? Concavity is based on the how low or high the offset of the wheel is. I don't get how they won't fit your car right

The RS8s are also really nice. Out of all your options, I'd get those. And if you're looking for mesh style wheels, check out the Forgestar F14 too.

For the Avants to be aggrssive or concave I would have to run 19x11 in the back :/. wont fit without negative camber.. I have been leaning towards the RS8's for a while but I can not get them local, Places do not want to work and tell me they can not get them. I'm always hesitant on ordering wheels on line just in case there are any issues with them+I need the TPMS senors swapped over.

Just looked at the Forgestar F14-- Nice but outside my range. 1600 with out tires.

having tpms swapped over has nothing to do with where you buy the rims from?!

Sure they can get them , Why not, Wheels next, all most evey place on-line has them. One of the places even buys there wheels from wheels next.. ???? The TPMS swap? Dont I need a rebuild kit or something? If the wheels come mount and balanced wouldnt I have to have them broken down to install the sensors? The TPMS are in th valve stems no?

If you like the RS8s I think you get them online. Then buy the tires locally. Then have the wheels/tpms swap done at the tire shop.
