Im not sure where you can get the rims retail. Im going through an old buddy here in Florida. He is a distributor for the brand. I had a set a long time ago, and the way the rim was built was awsome. The finish was top notch, and they went through some of the worst pavement in NC without bending.

#1... by a mile

DS blends too well with a anthracite wheel (look for PGT's R91 dark grey winters)
