Thanks Northern Rider,
I've been scouring some dealerships since picking-up my '300 Touring' in December; however, to no avail. These dealerships have all advised me that they never resell them, but actually mount their 'take-offs' on the non-300Cs they sell...as an upgrade to get an extra 'grand' or so from their prospective customers. I continually check eBay, on a daily basis, for 18" OEM Chrysler 300C tire/wheel 'take-offs', and the sets all seem to come in around $850-$900 (plus another $150 or so for shipping); therefore, I'm actually still contemplating of maybe just applying the 'grand' toward a 20" tire/wheel package instead, but I still haven't found what I'm looking for. Without a 'decent' local custom wheel shop in the area, my search has become an even bigger struggle. They all want to sell you the 'crap they have in stock, but not what you're actually looking for and/or want. I really like the appearance of the Sequence SQ-3 wheels, but I don't believe they're available in 20". I also like the MC2 FZ6 wheels, but I'd still like to find them nearby to avoid the additional $150 or so for shipping. I'd just as soon drive toward the LA/Orange County area to buy them and have them mounted, than to have them delivered to my home where I'll be forced to cart them over to a local tire shop to have them mounted. Besides, I'd actually like to see the wheels 'in person', as photos always have a tendency of making items appear much better than what they do in 'real life'.
Does anybody have any contact info for a good 'professional' tire/wheel shop in the LA/Orange County areas...which actually has a good selection of 20" wheels/tires and actually has them in stock? I have contacted the folks at MC2 Engineering, but was advised that they do not sell directly to the 'end user', but rather via 'selected' Chrysler dealerships. Evidently, the Chrysler dealership where I picked-up my car nor the others I've contacted while in search of take-off tires/wheels are in fact MC2 'selected' dealerships, as they've never mentioned this option to me. Please advise, as any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
