Do you know if they are discontinued? Tried looking for them on Ebay & nothing came up in that style.

They are now discontinued. Canadian Toyota dealers were clearing them out last fall, since the new 09 Matrixes were coming in.I snagged a set for my car :D

Use the Internet... find some Canadian Toyota dealers and ask them if they have any left. I was looking for a set for my son's Vibe and found some in New Brunswick... fairly close to Maine's northeastern border. The only reason I didn't get them was the price they wanted.Unfortuately, these guys didn't seem to know that the first gen Trix was already gone and the new Trix has different bolt pattern for the most part. You might luck out if you give it a good try. They should sell them well under a 100 dollars a corner, if they really want to get rid of them. And yes, they are a very nice looking 17 inch alloy wheel for Vibe and Trix. If your search doesn't work out... Tire Rack has a 17 inch 5 Spoke alloy that's very similar to the TRD wheel, Sport Edition F7. Good luck!!!
