I have tried to find a good set of 18" rims around Ontario. It's near impossible.
I love the charcoal/smoke version of the Pathfinder 18s that were produced for the Frontier Sport Appearance package and they are even more rare - impossible to find in Canada.
So I stumbled across a link from our friends over at the Frontier Org, and someone found a producer of the same charcoal 18s, by a firm called Jante Wheel in Tennessee. They manufacturer exact replicas of OEM wheels.
Seeing this is an American firm, I'm assuming this is an American made wheel.
It should be high quality,
Would this assumption be correct?

Did anyone have any experince with them?
In the USA quality control wheels standards are only half as strict for aftermarket than for OEM.
And they are not enforced.
So after market wheels are always a risk.
Honestly if an aftermarket wheel as is a little over 100 bucks/wheel I cannot imagine it meeting anywhere close OEM specs for roundness and strength.,
That is a new price of less than half of a used OEM wheel.
I realize it is not what you wanted to hear but it is what it is.
What about ebay?
They cant deliver to Canada?
I got my set of used 18 inch OEMs off ebay and am well satisfied ( I also wanted the charcoal look but could not find a full set so I went with the regular look)
