Any Canadians in here? looking for advice where to buy rims

[jimcorrigan]

I'm looking at getting a set of Alpha Equipt Command 17s for my incoming 2011 LX570. I can only find them from a US vendor, meaning I'll probably be bent over on customs.Still, seems cheaper than what most Canadian vendors are selling the closest thing I can find, Icons, for, after all taxes are accounted for. Do you know of any alternatives within Canada? I know some places stock Icons, but the reason I'm going for the Alpha Equipts is due to the offset (+35 vs +25 on the Icons, and I intend to run 285/75/17 tires).

Thanks in advance.

There are some well-known shops around BC that may be worth talking to. I've no idea whether any of these sell the specific wheels you want, but they're worth talking to:

- Baja North (Kamloops)
- Adventure Trucks (Kelowna)
- North Shore Off Road (Vancouver, VI)
- Big Country Customs (Abbotsford)
- Overland Outfitters (Vancouver)

Have you thought about a Seattle visit? At least save you the shipping.

I knew about a few, but not all of those. I'll give the rest a call. Thank you.

Sadly, the cost of ferrying back and forth, and customs will easily wipe out any potential advantage, but thanks all the same

25 offset isn’t too bad I think. 30 appears to be the Goldilocks based on my research.

I’ve considered method wheels. I don’t know about their availability in Canada. They’ve got 25 and 35 offsets.

Evo corse is another option.
