Default Any know good rim shops in Richmond?

hey everyone, i havent been on here all summer. the only mod i've really done this summer is painted my sideskirts which came out awesome.

ok so i ordered some Velox VX-8's in gunmetal from wheelsnext.com a few days ago for $700 under the Tuner Specials and they called back and said they didnt have any gunmetal in stock and would take 4-6 weeks to order new ones. they also said it would cost an extra 100 to mount and balance the rims/tires which came as a surprise because i didnt see that anywhere on the website.

but on saturday me and a few friends are gonna go around town and look at some shops to see if they have any Velox's at around that price. We were gonna check R.P.M, Carrs, and this Toyo Tires shop near my house on Northside. Are rims cheaper in shops than on internet stores? i know wheelsnext has free shipping and stuff. I just wanna know if i could find a rim/tire special on 16" velox vx-8's in gunmetal around here for like under 800. so lemme know if you've bought rims in the area. thanks

any 16x7 +45 offset you should be able to pick up for about $10. If you want real wheels they might be a little more than $10
