Default Where to get PIAA super rozza in GTA

Hey, I'm having trouble finding a shop that carries PIAA wheels (seems like Volk is all the rage ) in the GTA. I really like the super rozza and i figure if i'm forking out money i shouldn't have to settle for something other than the wheels i really like.

Is it probably better if I just order from US and have it shipped to Canada instead?

Thanks!

I had a set of these on the wife's s2000... Bought from wheel and tire zone in Mississauga.

Steelcase tire in Markham will also order them for you, as will any other online/import vendor.

I just had bad customer service from Steelcase Tires. I would stray away from them.

Went to fix a flat. Guys working at the back were pretty nice and friendly, commenting my cars and all. But when I went to front to pay, they asked for $20. I recall clearly paying $10 last time I went there. So I asked if they changed their price up or whatever. They gave me this attitude with a really negative stern voice saying "It was always this price and never any other price, just pay and leave now."


I've never had that kind of experience. I normally deal with Steve White there, never had a problem, but he wasn't there this time. But I'm sure I won't be coming back to buy tires from them. This experience really kills it for me, even though it's only $20, it's still customer service that has to play most of the part.

did you not ask them how much it would cost? especially important if you're dealing with someone that you normally do not deal with.

Tire23 has them. 3300 was the quote I got off them.

You might be better going Ebay or canadian retailers; american vendors really are stiff with this price (Upgrade Motoring wouldn't budge) and it will cost around the same when you factor in duties. Also have been discontinued so supply is limited too.

I was set on the Super Rozza too; but the price has turned me away. I still won't mind a set; but the Volk GT-V look alot more attractive now .

I got a quote $2400 shipped to buffalo from a forum vendor + GST PST ~ 2700 CDN. still not bad...
i got a quote for 2900 from a Mississauga retailer (not tire23 i think they're pricy for rims).

But I might be going for a set of work VSXX instead . gotta place my order tomorrow....... I wish the lip on them are as big as the rozza's...

You might get dinged with duties if you claim it; which I wouldn't if you were driving over; haha.

VSXX is also a nice choice; lip on the Rozza is sick though.

what colour VS-XX? what colour's your car? If you liked the finish on the Piaa's, you should definitely get the VS-XX in burning black.

All you pay is PST and GST which he's already factored in. Dont claim something at the border as obvious as rims and you'll get searched and harassed every single time you try to pass for the rest of your life.
