You could give a call to the folks at smartmadness.com. They say they have a partnership with Genius Wheels so they should be able to get the wheels you're looking for and they state a low price guarantee. I don't see "Darwin B" on their site but there's no harm in asking.

Since the rims are showing up at rims-n-tires.com as $175 each, are you getting special tires? Big price differences can be found there. Are you getting stock TPMS sensors? Aftermarket TPMS? No sensors?

You gave us very little information and you topic of "????????????" won't necessarily bring the wheel experts in to look at your question. A little attention spent on proper grammar, punctuation, and capitalization may also keep more forum members interested in reading through your thread.

i was in a rush,what im i back in school,i was talking about the 17s without the sensors,and before u correct me,check your self before u make comments about other people.do u know how to spell thred---?????????

Just trying to help, buddy. It's not me you're offending, it's the help from many other people on this forum that you may easily lose.

A typo here and there is normal. Rampant disregard for standard forms of communication just makes people lose interest in trying to sort through disjointed words to try to extract your original thoughts and questions.

That's all I'll say. Flame me if you wish.

John,

We have these wheels in stock and if I may I would like to make some suggestions...

The wheels are on promo for $699.99 for a set of 4. This I believe is the lowest price in the Nation for the wheels. As always we offer the lowest price guarantee on the wheels we offer.

In regards to the tires...

This online store is showing tires that are too narrow for the rear. We install 195/40-17 in the front and 215/40-17 (for a stretched look) or 225/40-17 (for a full look) for the rear. The tires we use are also Yokohama S-Drives.

If you are planning to ship this set it would make more sense to simply order the wheels and only pay for shipment of the wheels. The tires can be purchased at most local tire shops. Once you receive the wheels, take them to a local tire shop and ask them to take out the sensors from your stock wheels, install them in to the new wheels and then mount up the new tires and balance everything. If they do not have the tires in stock (most will not), it should only take a day or two for most shops to get them in.

This would save you some money. If you order the wheels and tires from this online vendor you would still need to take them to a local shop to have them dismount them and your stocks, install the sensors and mount and balance everything up again.

So, your best bet is to simply get the wheels and then get the tires locally. We can assist you with any questions. Please do not hesitate to call us directly at 562-961-6800.

Thank you,
Boris

The wheels come Black from the company. We have custom painted some at customers request. Mostly it was the version that had a mirrored lip and we painted the spokes to match the car or the trim.

The matte Black set comes that way from the company.

In regards to the shipping... Sorry, can't do Free Shipping on these. We sell them for what I believe is the lowest price in the country. If you find a better deal from someone that has these in stock we will gladly match it and beat it.

If you have ANY questions please do not hesitate to give us a buzz directly at 562-961-6800. We are open from 10-6 (pacific) and we will gladly help out.

Thank you,
Boris
