TRD discontinuing 18" Rims?
I have heard it through the rumor mill that they are going away with the 18"'s you can get from the dealer.
Is this true? Does that mean once any of mine get screwed up, there are no replacements? Yikes!

I called my dealer this afternoon after reading this since I bought my xB on 10/01. The parts department said they had ordered my 18" TRD package on 10/5 and I would be getting them. I asked them to doublecheck. My salesman called back two hours later to let me know I wouldn't be getting them. They wanted to sell me something else but I told them to just cut me a refund check.
Guess I'll post in the classifieds to say what someone may be selling. I think I like the 17" Enkei RP02’s, 5zigen's FN01R-C’s, and 5zigen Typhoon’s. Anyone know a good place to buy?

I waited over 3 months for mine to come in. It sucks to know that if something happens to them, I will have to buy all new wheels; Oh well....you would think with the long amount of time people are having to wait for them, that they would have mass produced them. Oh well.....I guess I could always sell mine if someone wanted to buy them! LOL

this is no rumor they are discontining them there's no resale value on them because you can get the same exact one racing harts with no trd logo and for cheaper so they loose out.....financial move good one but there nothing wrong with the rim....good quality...
