OEM sport 19s where's the best(cheapest) place to get them?

I have a quick question, I will be getting a 2009 G37Xs sedan and want a set of the OEM 19 inch coupe sport wheels. I know I can buy them off eBay or buy a set someplace as a set of take offs from someone’s new car. But I would be looking for 4 of the front wheels so I wouldn’t have an issue with the AWD system and the stagered wheels. If I buy a set off of someone they will be staggered and that will be a problem from what I hear.

2 Options,

1) Buy 4 fronts form the dealer.

2) Find some scum bag who stole 2 sets of wheels to get the rears and is selling off the residual. (New York and L.A areas seem to be a good place to start looking!)

Sorry for the sarcasm, But with all of these rides getting raped for the wheels lately I couldn't resist.

Time to haggle with the sales folks at the time of the deal. " I will buy this car, But only if it has the sport wheels I like." At least worth a try!

I wonder if the dealer would give me any credit for my OEM sedan sport wheels... I'm guessing no....

I don't know your financial situation, but the easiest way to do that is to buy 2 complete sets of all 4 staggered wheels/tires off eBay, Craigslist, etc. Then once you have all 8 wheels/tires, put either the 4 fronts or the 4 rears on your own car and turn around and sell the other set of 4 on eBay, Craigslist, etc. There are a lot of you AWD folks looking to put those wheels on your cars, so I would imagine you'll have no problem selling a set of 4 rears or fronts. The only issue is floating the cash to buy 8 wheels...
