Looking for aluminum rims (Sysmic 8" x 4" would be best)

Anyone have sysmic rims that are laying around, unloved?

This is what I would really like: Aluminum Rim

I don't know of any company in US that supplies these. The UK to US shipping makes it unbelievably expensive. Shipping for each set of 3 = $60 with no apparent break if you order more.

So...whatcha got?

I do have (1) 2.5" that I bought as an extra because if the 4" didn't work I wanted a backup plan for my front wheel.

I ordered mine from van in Texas with winddog a few years ago(to save on shipping).

Shipping is often fairly expensive.

Van was my first stop. I have bought 6 from him. But, alas, he has sold out.

Want to sell your single? If so, send me a personal message here or through yahoo using my username as the email.

I changed the request from 8x2.5 to 8" x 4" since that is what I currently have

Well...I was posting for the wrong size. Thank you for the help figuring this out, Erik!

I am requesting 4" wide rims, not the 2.5" rim that I originally stated.

Perhaps this will have better results!
