Utter Disappointment

So originally i was going with the blacked out theme on my car. I had the rims i wanted all picked out and wasnt going to settle for anything else... however i was just informed the ALT Sonix 18"x7.5" in the 5x110 bolt pattern will no longer be in production

Here was a pic of the rims i was goin for:





So im asking anyone for suggestions for some black rims in the 5x110 bolt pattern. Not a fan of anything with too many spokes. if you could link me pics or sites that display some good looking ones, i'd appreciate it.

I think those are the same ones Badmunky has. Might talk to him since he is talking about getting a set of Rotas.

If their still in production, I'm sure it would be possible for them to custom drill you a set. If they drilled them in 5x110 before I don't see why they can't again. The only issue I see, is them costing a little bit more....

On a side note, these are the rims I was planning on getting too.

I talked to Gravana and ALT and a custom drilled set can be had but your going to pay for them guys.

I was llooking for a freind that bout an SS and wanted the same rims I have.
I was told a set would be about 1,350 after shipping.

Thats alot more then I spent so he said no thanks.

I am considering selling them over the winter but still have not found a rim I like in the size I want for what Im willing to spend on them.

But I will take any offers you guys might want to send my way! Just PM me.
Who knows if its enuff I might be willing to part with them befor I have a replacment set in hand!

They still look brand new to!

Later

doubt it man. Gravana was the only site that sold these, i even contacted the manufacturer to confirm. Only a handful of sets were drilled in the 5x110.

i found a new wheel though and it looks just like the ALT sonix :O
