$600! Holy moly, why not try Canadian Tire or Wal-Mart, I think they've got 15s for $40 or 50 apiece, don't remember now, and you don't hafta worry about rust or removing shot tires from them.

Ok, excuse me if I don't know what I'm talking about, but 15" basketweaves...

Are these considered basketweaves? (possibly showing my stupidity)

Steels with BMW hub caps - makes for a different look. You can also go ghetto and leave the hub caps off. Best for your urban markets

I dunno, sorry. It might only be for domestic. I would pay them a visit if you are still interested. The BMW hubcaps on steelies look better than most alloys imo. Maybe check eBay for some basketweaves also, I would rather have them because of the weight.

Try here for some nice looking alloys, will send to Toronto, about $200 CAD shipped:

I would pick them up myself but I'm looking for 16s or 17s.
