Need XXR Wheel distributor in Canada

I am looking for these wheels and want to save some money on shipping. Anyone know of a canadian XXR distributor?

XXR 521 18x8.5 and 18x10 in SILVER.

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help!

Cheers and Happy Holidays!

You might save money on shipping but you will not save on the price of the rims.

1. Silver is discontinued for the 521

2. The distributor for XXR/sportmaxx is Robert Thibert.

3. I think you're looking for a reseller... since you can't buy direct without an account. Which is any shop that sells wheels really. If they sell Enkei (which they all do) they sell XXR.

Negative.

They just share the same distribution in Canada and most of North America.

I bought mine from the zilvia marketplace, and had them shipped to a storage outfit on the USA side of the boarder. It's close enough for me that it isn't much trouble, and Canadian customs only harasses half the parts runs I make so it worth saving the dough. Canadian distributors rape us for many a part to put it lightly. I do support Americas economy, and I'm not entirely ashamed.

Thanks! It turns out that it is actually 200 bucks cheaper for me to buy from the states!

It kinda sucks that there is no incentive to buy locally.

Just checked these out. Great looking wheel! The 522 is quite nice too. Haven't noticed any feedback on xxr at all. They're priced very well. Any idea what the "low, mid and higher" offsets are? And weight? Reasonable?

Just noticed 1010 tires has free shipping on wheel/tire packages. Sean@1010tires is a great guy too. I'm sure he'll swing a shipping deal if you only bought wheels too. He seems to support clubs and forums.
