buying only 3 rims for a good deal

So on tire rack they got the ASA GT06 black 18x8 5x105 bolt pattern, these things are perfect!!!

the only problem is they only have 3 in stock causing the price to marked down %54 for only $79 a rim. that price is killer but i dont wanna end up buying them and not end up being able to find that fourth rim. Do you think they will restock them once i buy them? Maybe I could get the aluminum ones that look exactly the same and get them powdercoated. what yall think?

I have over years bought numerous sets of tuner wheels, several times a set because one wheel was damaged and that wheel is no longer in production and by then out of stock. My opinion: go with the look a like.

And buy five if you can. Tuner wheels are not built to oem specs so may not be as stalwart as oem.

Tirerack most likely won't carry them again. ...

Can you find one elsewhere for more $$$?

You'd still have a killer discount if you paid full price on one.

I kinda was in the same position. My bf had 4 wheels, 1 was damaged beyond repair. The wheels are not in production anymore. I recently got lucky and found someone selling 3 brand new ones. Now I have extra. Up to you but you could get lucky too.

Yeah i think its a no go, i can find the wheel elsewhere but with the incorrect bolt pattern, and im not going to have one wheel redrilled haha. One thing i was thinking of is getting the three and buy one aluminum that looks exactly the same and powdercoat it to match. I dont know how well that would work tho and if id even end up getting a deal by the time i check out, ship, and paint them. thanks for your input guys but i dont think im gonna do it so the deal is up for grabs.

too bad there's nobody here with them in 18's...I have 4 17's and I'd buy another spare if they were that cheap!!!

So my brother in law works at flagler ellectric i think it is, and a guy at his work does powdercoating. So he is going to get me an estimate and if its like $100 im totally buying three black rims for $79 and one silver for $139. That aint too bad, pus i got my subs and amp for sale.
