I went to pep boys today to try and order these rims and they told me they
are on national backorder for 8 weeks anyone know of a source that I could
buy these rims from? I tired summit and convinced the guy there that they
exist and he's going to call american racing tomorrow to see if he can get
them for me, but if anyone else knows of a place to order these rims let me
know thanks...
