Default Wheel question (seriously)

Does anyone know where I can find certain brands of wheels? I'm looking to buy my summer wheels soon, and I want to make sure I've looked in all the right places.

Aside from gruppe-s, I want to find some prices on the following brands:

Enkei
Work
Volk
Weds
Rays

in 18's

Price-wise, you can't really beat Gruppe-S (boy that sounds familiar...) although the possibility of getting non-real parts is a bit disturbing.

I've read *every single post* on this board. And I've never heard Weds rims mentioned. A search would waste CPU cycles... i am the search function!

Um, those are Rotas... specifically: Rota SubZeros (Replica Racing Hart CP-035s) and Rota SDRs (Replica Prodrive P7's). Where's the Weds!?

Haha, I didn't hear anyone ask for any specific model of Weds. I thought Scott hadn't heard of the brand.

Nothing, in fact I will probably get my wheels there, I just want to make sure I check around and compare some options.

I saw it in the dark, at the hotel, on a black STI. They were like 10 spokes. Tyson, were they Weds or Rays? I can't remember. I'm still liking the Volk CE28 in gunmetal though.
