any one know where to buy these wheels?

If this is the wrong spot for this thread please let me know and I will happily move it.

anyways you know how I said the dealer put the "new tires" on inside/out?
Well they are directional and need to be fixed, however the dealer says I cannot use the same wheels because they have had tires removed/put back on too many times.

sooo, awesome I gotta buy new rims/wheels. Its ok though there were actually specific ones I wanted to buy. I really liked the looks of the one from the Tokyo drift movie (i first saw the rx8 in that movie so its got a bit of sentimental value).

thats a picture of the rims. Have any of you seen these rims around before? While searching Tire rack I actually found ones SIMILAR to these, however they were chrome, and I dont really want flashy rims or anything, these look more grey. Any one seen em around or have any advice on where to check? been running through pages for a while now.

Thanks!

I have never heard of wheels needing to be replaced due to having too many tires mounted.

And if that's their excuse... Isn't it their fault that the rims had one too many mounts???

well i searched for a while and saw that they are Volk GT-AV wheels. Some one on this forum actually has them (they posted pics a long time ago bout em found it via google). I guess they are discontinued though, so i might be out of luck! Thanks though. If any one decides to sell theirs let me know.
