Default Fittipaldi no longer making wheels

I just got off the phone with Tirerack to get some info on Fittipaldi Polaris wheels and tires and found out that Fittipaldi is discontinuing their line of wheels. Also, Tirerack only has 2 Polaris wheels left--not enough. Disappointing news since I was getting excited about ordering them.

Now, I am interested in a number of Ronal wheels and need some advice as to where I can get them. Thanks for any help.

Default Well, I guess the alternative is MM Spider for 17". It costs a little bit less from Tirerack.

Default printed pic of your car............

Yea Ming.....yours looks Bad. I printed a pic of your car to try and decide whether the Ronal LZ's or BBS RXII's. I'm leaning towards the LZ's. I've been going around the office/friends/family showing your wheels.....I'm so indecisive!!!!!

I did like the Polaris especially due to the price.
