Can't find the new rims I want

I found some rims I really want, but they are out of stock. I want a set of TSW Cadwells, 18", staggered. Problem is none of the wheel sellers seem to have the larger 18x9.5s for the rear. Not even the TSW website. I've tried 3 places. The story is that they just produce 1 size and style of rim at a time, and there is no future production date for the ones I want. The style has not been discontinued.

Has anyone dealt with this problem?

You're pretty much limited to what's in someone's inventory so you can either try to find that someone, wait, or pick a different wheel.

Those are nice looking wheels. If you really like them you can search for them on the used wheel market. There aren't many good aftermarket wheel options for the W208.

You could always run some inexpensive similar wheel in the meantime while you hunt for the TSW wheels. I've been wanting to see what these look like on a W208 http://www.oewheelsllc.com/Wheels_3/...els-Gunmetal_5
