Default Cheapest Place for Enkei rims?

My buddy wants to buy some 15" Enkei RS5's. The cheapest place we've been able to find so far is Discount Tire, which wants $109 a rim. That seems a little high. Any suggestions?

Isn't Discount Tire Enkei's biggest distributor? If so, then it's not gonna get any cheaper than that. If your friend doesn't have that much to spend on 15's, has he thought about getting a set of Si or GSR wheels?

$109 a rim isn't exactly what I would call pricey.

www.whalentire.com has them for $96 each

www.discounttiredirect.com has them for $109 each, but free shipping.


go to the first site, check to see shipping charges.

GSR and SI rims normally run $350 to $500 for a set, and then you have to deal with scratches and possibly bent rims. I bought a set of TSW VX1's a couple years ago from some guy for pretty cheap, and then discovered that 2 of the rims were bent pretty badly.

The problem is I know I've seen them significantly cheaper than this on GB, like in the $350 range.
Thanks for the the links, RB. That's what I needed.
Tirod, I'll pm you. Let me know what you can do.
