the cheapest way to get the wheels is to have them shipped to somoen you know in the states - then drive down and have them put on.
this will save you about $800 CN (GST, PST, Duty, Brokerage Fee)
when i got my GT1's from tirerack, i put them through my dad's company so i saved the taxes - but the duty and brokerage fees were about $400 (ouch).
still not bad considering i paid about $3,000 CN with tires.

For those of you that want the Racing Sparcos NTR get ready to be rapped. Big time. Only BC Auto brings them in the GTA region. If your not asian add a 30% hike in price for the NAT. Depending on the mood at Bell Chan prices will range from 750-1000 each rim. They only come in Bronze/White/Black. No Silver. But if your going to shell out for Sparcos then you gotta go with the Viper R's. Those wheels are the shiznit. 13.5 lbs I'm saving for those. If you want copies get the Konig Toxxins (out of production)

I checked out Wheels Direct and was definately not impressed. My first impression was things might be slightly "warm", the place was a disorganized mess. The persistance you would need to actually find something, much less just information, would be insurmountable.

in my experience, tiremag (on keele) has the greatest selection of wheels and they are ALL IN STOCK!!
steelcase has the best prices on tires, but their wheel availibility is sketchy.....plus i've heard a couple of times that they get some of their wheels through tiremag anyways.......
personally, when i need wheels AND tires, i just go to tiremag....it's too much of a hassle for the couple of hundred bucks you may save....
for just tires - steelcase, period.
