Default Is-F in Sweden & Norway, winter driving.

Hi guys, just bought an IS-F on saturday. Impressed with the car and the best part is that it all work without any problems (even the adaptive cruisecontrol). Done som serious winter driving so far, the car feels stable allthough a bit nervous on ice. Anyhow, im in need of original rims for the car as the ones on it has touched a few sidewalks in central Stockholm during the winter. Can anyone tell me where im sure to get original stuff on the net?

Congrats on the F but I doubt you'll be able to find people here who would know how to get factory wheels in Sweden. Probably a US source like Sewell but get ready to be rammed up the wazoo on shipping charges....

Here in the US there are companies that specialize in wheel restoration and can take up some pretty banged up rims and making them perfect again. Any chance Sweden/Norway has a similar resource?
