I've heard good and bad stories about wheelmax, but if you've had success with discount, then stick with them.

i dunno, i want to keep future tire costs down so i may go with 17" but if the 18's tires are about the same cost that will be the route
once spring comes so i don't get salt on em. i know if i get em now i couldn't stand not having em on the car. but i need to do my homework b'f. i am trying to get the best for under 800$. i know its cheap but thats my target

most wheel stores will try and meet the price or come close to the price from wheel max. Just understand this, wheel max sends your wheels and tires to a remote location for mounting, balancing and shipping. At any point between that time, a rim can be damged. When you get it and see the damage, you have to send it back and wait. Or if they mess up the order you have to wait. What if they mess up the balancing, you will have to spend more money having a place rebalance them. And if your finish starts chipping, then you will have to send it back and put 1 stock wheel on. Sorry to ramble, but do you see my point. There is a reason why stores charge a little more than online places. That reason is service. They will be there when you need them. This guy over the internet will just sell you a rim and make you wait if something goes wrong. I have had 2 friends that got burned bad by wheelmax. Just use them as a price guide.

unfortunately i live about 2 hours from reading and allentown, so going to a local wheat store is useless. way overpriced. they are the ones who bring out the pricing guides from the manufacturers that are rediculously priced. usually about 500$ per set higher on anything


speedandstyle looks great i will have to do some window shopping until spring
