so i email a canadian authorized dealer about these rims yesterday [http://www.jic-magic.com/ViewProduct.aspx?ProductID=81](http://www.jic-magic.com/ViewProduct.aspx?ProductID=81)
this is what they replied back to me about the offset. What do you guys think? (97 s14)

+15 or +30mm will both work on the car. +15 being more aggressive and may required fender rolling and negative camber. 17x9.0” (Silver) - $430 cad plus taxes each17x9.0" (Chrome) - $480 cad plus taxes each We do not stock these and will need a min. deposit before ordering. Thanks,David [Yu604.278.4339dave@garagefive.netwww.garagefive.net](mailto:Yu604.278.4339dave@garagefive.netwww.garagefive.net) "

Dude, just buy a set of rims from Canadian Tire or get some ROTA wheels.
Those rims are hard to come by…how much were you expecting him to sell them for? $150 each?

If you order those rims from vivid racing, shipping and customs will probably end up making it cost the same as getting them here. Not to mention the Canadian dollar is weak right now.
