@ronttnam90: I guess Pickering Mitsu markup is high considering they quoted it for $970 +tax
I believe homieG was looking for a rim trade. Unless he wants mine "slightly" damaged one, i am all for it 
Either way, No way in hell I am paying the dealer that much for a rim. I am switching to winter tires with steelies, so I should be good for now till summer.
I understand the importance of winter tires and I do have them on our other two Mitsu vehicles. I intended to buy the tires as you know I pm'ed you for the quotes but i was stuck in a financial crisis and couldn't cough out ~800 at that time. When i got the dough, I couldn't find the good brands in stock. I guess i learnt my lesson the hard way

Mikron15: the lancer wheel actually costs that much (well technically speaking it doesnt cost that much, but thats the price they decide to sell them), i remember when i first got my lancer i asked my dealership (markham mitsubishi) and they also quoted me for 8xx for 1 so it would come up to 9xx with tax. yes it is a complete rip off for just some alloys (even volks single forged doesnt cost that much lol) so DO consider getting an aftermarket set of rims.
