Default Finally buying rims - suggestions?

I have an 05 IIP tC and I'm buying rims for the first time.

I really like these Tork Wheels:

Imagine


Matrix


I'm looking at 18x8 - but I can't find them in stock anywhere! I contacted Tork and they expect shipment within 6 weeks, but can't be gauranteed.

So basically, i want to know of any suggestions that have the same look and feel.

I like the Imagine's plain neat look - and I like the Matrix more aggressive look as well.

All comments welcome - thanks!

I think Imagine looks better the spokes are smoother.

The problem I'm having is finding these rims in stock - they seem to be backordered direct from the manufacturer for over 6 weeks.

Any suggestions of another rim that looks similiar that is in the 175-225 price range?

Go buy a Super Street or another import mag. They have tons of rim adds and specials. You may find something you like.

I like the Imagine better, very clean. Plus if you live in NY it may be worth waiting, seeing how everyone in the North is still getting belted with snow.

10 inches overnight where I live. Basically what exprescion said, all those import mags have a bunch of wheel adds. Try tirerack.com, they have decent prices. Wheelsnext.com has a bunch of rims, wheelwarehouse.com is a lil more highend I believe those are just a few. GL bro
