Default need a hand on prices on some wheels..

Hey guys, I'm just about ready to purchase my wheels, I can't find a decent price.. I'm looking at 2 sets, first the specs I need:

Front:
18x7.5"
+48 offset

Rear:
18x8.5"
+50 offset

Now I'm looking for either the
a) Volk Racing LE37T's 18" weighing in @ around 16 lbs
OR
b) Volk Racing TE37-Mag's 18" weighing in @ 12.9 lbs


I got a price on the LE37T's.. ~$2,300 with shipping!!!!!!.. I searched the web and I can't find a better price, so if anyone knows anyone and can give me a hand, I know people and I can get prices on tons of stuff as well.. As far as i found on the web, the Mag's are in Japan only.. or the sites that sold them were in japanese.. is anyone over there that could give me a hand? I REALLY want these!


PS.. I'm sorry if this is in the wrong forum, I wasn't sure if the tirerack folder was just for tirerack products or whatever, and I already checked there..

If you plan on lowering, you might want to add a bit more to that offset in the rear. I have and 8" rim with a +51 offset, and I am about 1/8" away from my fender with 255/35/18 tire at 2 degrees negative camber.

In addition to Evolution I would suggest R&D Motorsports (also on in the sponsor's page), who is also an authorized Volk distributor.
