same year/~KM as me and yikes that the going rate these days? Never knew 03 came in CBlue...

Check out Tire World in Brampton, Factory Tire in Rexdale, not sure about east-end, I ended up getting mines from the states saved over $1000 compared to local shop rates.

Thats not good.
The wheels I wanted are in Japan and no place had them that I called in the US or Canada. They said they had to get them from there and it would take up to 8 weeks and they did give me the option to cancel out my order and get my deposit back. I wanted them and the summer will soon be over anyways so I went through with it. Hopefully it will not be like your case. I will post when I get them (hopefully 6 weeks now)

in my case...3 months, waited waited phoned every week.Same answer, its on a boat from vancouver..i got the same answer 3-4 weeks in a row. Then after that somehow it arrived in vancouver, i said great!....called the following week and they said, oh its still on a boat from japan! seriously wtf. They said it arrived some 7 months after i ordered it. When i came there, they said "oh we got the wrong wheels". Do you want your deposit back?. In that case i took my money. A week later they phone me, do you still want the wheels? I said of course.... But there was a catch "it was in vancouver".

rofl... i waited almost 3 months for my work wheels to arrive from Japan (custom color matched/size) FROM SPEEDSTAR. Also factorytire (westside) have some great selections as well... and they do excellent color matching.

I first figured, by the time my wheels arrived..summer would be long gone.. but to my suprise, it just started feeling like summer a few days ago! ... My only mistake was selling my previous rims a lil too early... (which i got from the automotive import market A.I.M on denison rd. near Woodbine/Steeles) .. they also have a great selection.. price wasn't too bad either...

If you want a place that will have a great selection of rims on site, http://www.factorytire.net/wheels or A.I.M . For Custom Rims and other speciality rims... tires23 / speedstar

good luck with your purchase

Sometimes custom ordered wheels don't arrive in a timely manner. Ask me how I know. Usually it's not the fault of the vendor.
