I purchased mine through a private seller. You can try optionimports.com. I believe that there are vendors in the marketplace section also that sell them.

Optionimports.com. They price match as well. Called and told them I saw it cheaper at a different site and they price match. They do check the other site though so don't make it up.

Noob question, can you put spacers on the AWD? I heard something about not being able to use staggered wheels or else it will mess up the differential. Do spacers have anything to do with that, and if I did put them on, would they have to be the same size front to rear?

The only rubbing issue I do have is when I go over a dip (not the intense kind where you could scrape your front lip) on the freeway or street at a 50+mph speed, I'll slightly- very slightly- rub on my passenger side rear tire. Not bad at all. I think this occurs because I'm only on Eibach springs, which I feel are soft springs. I'm sure if I had coilovers and could adjust the dampening, a stiffer setup would prevent this.

I believe you can put spacers on AWD. I just did a search and haven't found any negatives about doing so. As far as being same size front and rear, I'm not sure, but I'm going to ASSUME yes, especially if you stick with the stock wheels. I believe stock wheels for AWD are the same width all around- anyone have input?

Oh yeah one more thing, the wheel setup I have right now isn't gonna be on for much longer. Just purchased a new set and gonna try to install next weekend pending a tire situation.

Hmm... what to do with the Rays G35 wheels...
