Best place to find OEM wheels?

Hi everyone -

I have an 06 sedan with the luxury package and I want to upgrade to the sport package wheels (18 x 7.5) like these:



These guys sell them for $289 and I'm not sure if they are reputable or well priced: http://www.finishlinewheels.com/INFI...05/A-73682U78/

It *might* be less expensive to find a used set and take them to a body shop to take car of any "curb incidents" but I'm having a hard time finding any...

Thoughts?

Thanks!

I'll post a WTB ad in the marketplaces area for the 18 x 7.5 sedan wheels. Thanks!

Edit - looks like I can't post: not enough posts or time...damn.

Yup! I'm looking for the plug 'n play of the factory 18" sport wheels - no offset issues/rubbing and the same width for easy rotation. The 19's do look cool on the sedan though...

I sold my OEM 18" sedan sport wheels and tires not too long ago for $1000 and they looked brand new with only 3600 miles on them. You can find a good deal looking around here or ebay.

So, I tried to order from http://www.finishlinewheels.com/INFI...05/A-73682U78/ and they cancelled my order because they weren't in stock. I asked about an ETA and to order them but they said "No ETA at this time" and ended the email. So, scratch them off as a potential source for OEM rims. They were responsive but if they don't have them in stock I wish they wouldn't list them as available...

So, who's got a set of 18x7.5 double 5 spoke wheels?
