    Where are 18" 4 lug rims at

    I actually picked up half of the parts at FFW for a 5 lug conversion for my car yesterday. got my axles and disk brake conversion for the rear. Its really difficult to find nice 4 lug rims these days, especially in 18's.

    To all you guys that like to polish...

    No problem.. i have just spent probably 1000 in crap from mothers and all the other name brand stuff that just doesnt work for me.
