Default Tirerack wheels?

Im thinking about getting my wheels and tires from tirerack.com because I know people who have had good experience and they have a big tire selection. The only wheels in my price range though that they have are Sport Edition. I've never heard of these but they look decent. Any ideas on quality?

i dunno, never heard of them. Have you though about trying another place like groupbuy? They sell rotas and rota's are inexpensive but reputable.

if tire rack sells them, they must be somewhat decent... they are a good company and sell only quality products.

Also try www.tires.com they have free shipping, free mounting and balancing, free lugs and they have a good selection of reasonable prices wheels and tires... also all of good quality.

oh yeah, i just wanted to add... dont buy from wheelmax.com :nono:, they suck!! Their customer service reps are total assholes, the charge for really crappy lugs that stretch and rust, they charge for mounting and balancing, and they dont come out balanced... me and a couple other people I know that bought from them had to get our sets re-balanced by someone we knew... and they said the balance was totally off... which it was, we bounced down the road...

to the people of wheelmax... :sqfawk: :down:

My friend has the Sport Edition on his Integra. They are ok looking but a little on the heavy side. Tire Rack usually will carry quality wheels, but sometimes they will throw in a few average or below average wheels. What kind of car are you looking to get rims for?

i would highly recommend discounttire.com. They have a good selection for the accord and my wheels arrived quickly, correctly balanced, well packaged, and with a proper set of lugnuts.

Looking to get rims for my 94 accord lx. I was planning on getting the sport edition ones with the six spokes, paired with some sumitomo htr+, thats less than 1000 shipped.

Bad experience from wheelmax.com? I know a few people who ordered from them and they didn't have any problems. The last thread about wheels praised wheelmax.com.
