Wheel Shop in Vancouver area
As the title states, where can i find a good place to find a set of Volks or Work wheels? I am planning on driving my car to Vancouver sometime in the early spring and would like some ideas of which place is best to buy from CHEERS!

There's tons of tuner shops in the Vancouver area that can order in a set of high end JDM wheels for you. But chances are; you'll save quite a bit by cutting out the middle man (tuner shops).
Just order the wheel and tires you want from the vendors in the marketplace here or wherever online and get them shipped to Point Roberts (about a 1-2 hr drive from Vancouver) accross the boarder, then pick them up while you're down here. That's how most of us locals do it and not get jipped by buying parts locally

Just order them through a forum vendor. Chances are nobody is going to have in stock what you want anyway. All the Canadian shops seem to charge way more too.
I ordered my most recent set through MVP, great service, minimal extra charge to ship to Canada too.
Edit: I have 2 sets right now, looking to get rid of one or the other. PM me if you're interested.

What are your new wheels? The old were gold SF Challanges weren't they? I haven't seen your car in a long time.
When I had Volks I also ordered them from a vendor on here, local shops were way out to lunch on pricing.

Yup, the old ones are gold SF Challenges. New ones are bronze TE-37's. I'm really torn on which ones to keep because I love the challenges, and my chances of finding them again aren't very good if I decide I want them back.
Didn't have the car out much last year...too busy with work and stuff. Did a few mods here and there, have some parts to go on in the spring. Every time I browse your build threads I start dreaming. But then financial reality sets in
