www.searchtempest.com is evil. On a whim, I searched all of Craigslist for a set of wheels that I've wanted ever since they came out about 10 or so years ago. I found a set--in the perfect sizes/offsets, no less--but they're in LA. Contacted the seller, and the guy refuses to ship them.

Why Lord? Why??!??!?!

There has to be someone that may be local to them that could possibly pick them up and ship them.
Some people don't want to take any time out of their day to do anything like that. It may take a bit, but you'll get rid of what you have for sale.

I just can't catch a break. I finally decide on a set of wheels, and I miss out on not one, but TWO sets.

Enkei Aegis. They were 19X8/9.5, +45/+44.

I have an xB, so I need 5X114 wheels. Guess it's a matter of taste...I've wanted a set of those wheels since they came out.

They're really a good looking wheel! A little different than most spokey designs. Plus, 3-piece means you can rebarrel them to whatever you want.
NASIOC will have nothing but square setups. If you want to run square, do it. I am. But I'm looking into a staggered setup for the future.

Like EVERYTHING else, shipping is a matter of money.
Typically in the CONUS, it takes $80 to ship 4 wheels.
Now, you say that Dude doesn't want to have to pacakage/box up and ship a set of wheels that YOU'VE PARTICUARLY DECIDEDED UPON FOR TEN YEARS.
Decisions, decisions, my man...

Yeah I had the same problem I was looking for the three plastic pieces in the trunk. That goes around the window found at least 10 people saying they had the parts for them and none of them will ship. I even offered to pay for shipping and an extra $40 and they still won’t do it. F them there loss and some have not even replied to my email.
