Default where to find LS wheels in Toronto ....

I plan to buy some nice 17" aftermarket wheels for my LS to run in the summer. I have looked for used wheels on Craigslist and Kijiji, and have not seen anything nice ...

Anyone know any wheel stores in Toronto /area that sell used wheels (BBS, HRE, Volk/Rays, IForged ) etc. that would fit the LS.

I am not willing to spend $4,000 on wheels and tires, but I would like something nice ... Any suggestions on where to look would be appreciated.

Member classifieds? Check out other forums too Acurazine, the Nissan/Infiniti boards, etc.

Lots of people are selling wheels. Don't forget too that shipping within Canada is cheaper too.

Nowhere in the GTA worthwhile.
Much better selection and much cheaper stateside. Have them shipped to CBI in Niagara Falls, NY and either bring them over yourself or there is a service that will bring them over for you. Brokerage fees will kill the savings otherwise.
PM me if you need anything.

This fall I ordered four 18" OEM rims (no TPMS) for my 2009 LS from Victoria tire(in California) via eBay and I am very, very happy with their service. The cost to buy and deliver to Vancouver Island was $434 CAD plus an additional $87 CAD for duty. I am not sure if delivery to Ontario would be more expensive.

The rims arrived in perfect shape and were already balanced.

Thanks for all the suggestions and the thread clean up.

Strange that a huge city like Toronto doesn't have much, but
I will keep looking out here and other car forums, something willl come up.

I feel you Stu... I live in Ontario as well and you want to support Canadian businesses but when prices in the states are so much better and the selection as well... kinda forces your hand but that 1010tires site looks promising. Toronto is a huge place and alot of times does have a variety but often lets you down.

If you are not willing to spend $4000 why are you looking at $4000 wheels , kind of counter productive ?
Need to look at your actual budget and get what you can actually afford instead of pipe dreams .

Please re-read the first post, it says USED,

Not sure how you missed it, it says USED twice !

Great general advise, but not what I asked for or what I need.
I'm looking for places to buy in Toronto.
You and kingpin both need to learn how to read before you post.

This thread is closed.

You can post a WTB in the classifieds and select CAN-Toronto if you're looking for used wheels from CL members.
