Ordering rims from the mainland

Well, I'm not having any luck finding some rims locally for my WRX, so guess I'll try online.

Where do you all order your rims from? Looking for somewhere that has good shipping to Hawaii (I know its gonna be expensive either way, but some places are a tad better then others). I was looking at maybe rotas (I cant afford brand-name brand new ), anyone know a good site?

Or if you know some local shops that have good deals, it would be lovely too.

when i used to buy rims from the vendors, i asked if they could ship them usps 2-3 day priority. some did, some didnt. its a lot cheaper, and it arrives about the same time as it would have from fed-ex and ups. at half the price for shipping. doesnt hurt to ask, whats the worst that could happen? but this was like 5 years ago so ymmv.

the vendors i bought from dont seem to be around here anymore so sorry i cant help you with that.

TireRack has awesome shipping rates and fast Delivery. Gruppe-S got the JDM rims, but took like 4 months to get my RGIIs to come delivered, but the rims were brand new,...Like made "after" I placed my order,...

yeah, I saw subydude, looked cheap. Right now idint care about brand name, so rotas are fine with me. Tirerack diddnt really have any designs I wanted (in my price range anyway). I'll probably drop subydude a line after Christmas. Unless some has a set locally I can buy.
