Ok called Discount tire and had him look for the 18x8 and 18x10 and he says no store has them according to his computer. If anyone ends up with 2 extra please contact me. I would like a set for my rear. Do you guys think it is going to be possible to find a set of 8" to match for the front?

The original link had something cached into it for the "ship to local store" option. I was puzzled after not being asked for a credit card. I called the store I picked as my "nearest location", it's in Michigan so I just assumed at first that was the warehouse location.
The person at that store explained what happened, said he was about to call me to setup an appointment. He cancelled my order and I called the 800 number to place a different order.
Now I have UPS tracking numbers so I'm pretty sure my wheels are on the way.

I'm at the point where I'm cautious about believing anything until it's delivered, but according to my local store, where I placed the order, they are all on their way. I should know something early next week.

THOSE as in the 18" Turbo II wheels? Ebay or wait until Hershey for the ultimate in factory wheel deals.
For 17s, I may be selling my CUP Is in a couple months. They have S-03s in the front and will probably have new RT-615s in the rear soon.

It will be a few months, but probably $500 if I don't replace the rear tires and $650 if I do. I don't have any pics. No curb rash but a few little handling dings, and a scratch where somebody tried to steal a center cap (before I bought them).

Well, it happened..., they arrived. I got a call at 4:55 and my local store said my wheels had arrived. I took the truck and picked up a full load of beauties. Now I have to wear out my new tires on all of the cars so I can put these on.
They indicated that they'd order in a variety of sizes for the front so I can test for clearance to see what will work with the 10's on the front. They seem like some good guys. (They actually undercharged me by $100.00 but I just couldn't bring myself to not tell them. I told them they could make it up to me when I was looking for tires.)
Darn, what a burden this will be wearing out tires. I just need warm weather, or just "clear" weather. When does spring arrive?
It sure helped brighten a dreary Indiana winter day.
