Cheap replica alloys in Toronto?

Dasein — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 08:53:39 -0800

(Asking for a friend.) Where could one find cheap replica Mercedes/AMG alloy wheels in Toronto? This column leads me to believe that AMG replica alloys should be available for around $130. Does anyone know where I could find reasonably-priced replica alloys for a Mercedes (16-inch)?

Where in the world could I purchase a replica of a globus cruciger or a sovereign's orb, AKA the awesome-looking symbolic globe thing that kings and angels are sometimes portrayed holding? I have a brilliant idea of photographing myself looking dark and foxy, with a medieval-style orb in hand. Yes, it was brilliant until I realized that I had no clue where I would purchase such an item! Any ideas out there?

See here for images & an explanation of what I'm referring to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globus_cruciger

Has anyone ever found a source for life-like rubber slugs? I've been trying to find some for an art project and every source I've been able to think of has turned out to not to have any such thing. And by slugs I mean the slimy, slow-moving animal, not the type you try to cheat a soda machine out of it's inventory with. Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

What kind of pen did Dr. Jones use in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade? My Google-fu is failing me! I'm trying to identify this pen. Bonus points if anyone can tell me where to buy a replica/collectible version of it. Thanks!

Where can I find a reasonable selection of Iranian soccer jerseys? I tried to shop at www.persianleague.com to find some Iranian soccer jerseys for myself and my wife, but they cancelled my order the other day, saying their bazaar was closed and/or broken. I've looked at some of the kits at www.iransoccerstore.com, but I'm not very thrilled with their selection - I was hoping to find more club kits.

Any ideas on where to find these items? US or Canada mail-order shipping is OK. (Bonus if you can help find more than just Esteghal or Persepolis stuff)
