I cant find the thread from last year about the shop in Red Deer(I think) who had a good price(1300) on the FN01R-C's and knew just what to order for fitment.

I know at least 1 member bought from them last year...who are you?

Thanks

I bought mine through a shop in Calgary last spring (they came to about $1300 shipped to my door)- could that be it?
(I just reread your post about them being 1300 lol)

Damned if I can remember the name of the place, and a google search didn't ring any bells- I also checked the dsm forum, because they put me onto the guy in the first place, but it's no longer a vendor on their forum (I'm pretty sure a different person took over the store not long after I bought my wheels)

Mine are 17x9 +35 offset- great fit (on both wheelwell placement and brake clearance)
edit- oh yeah and 5x114.3- that's important too :p

btw, the place I ordered them from had to order directly from the states (5z's website only lists a couple places in BC as dealers, and they were both quite a bit higher price-wise when I checked last year)

Yeah, that's the place. Was it a DSM forum or Beyond? and that's why I can't find the thread on here! All my comms with the guy are on a old HD somewhere in this house! I ended not buying then, as the car was down. I'm thinking the name was something similar to Wheels West?

I know those spoke are going to clear on the Wilwooded Talon as well as the Stealth(Talon won't take a 9" though.:mad: )

I may have to order from Alfred.

Yeah, if you call someone looking for specific parts your gonna pay MSRP.:mad:

Thanks alot

I'm pretty sure it was on calgarydsm.com
the thread you're thinking of was on here though, in fact I went looking for it but couldn't find it (should have been about 13-14 months ago- that's only like 7 pages back on our pathetic board lol)
the name of the place completely escapes me (the guy who I was talking to was named Brendan though)
^^^typed this before it dawned on me to go into the basement and look at the shipping labels on the friggin' boxes:p - it was JDMWest that I bought them through- I checked their website (www.jdmwest.ca) and it is a different guy running it now.

I looked into ordering from one of the guys on 3SI when I was looking and he wouldn't ship up here (said it wasn't worth it- although since they had to come from down there anyway I'm sure it would have still been way cheaper for me if he would have sold to me)
