Best Site for Wheels?

After going all winter on my stock 18's, I'm looking to throw 22's on for the summer time. I'm not looking to lift or drop, but something nice to fill the wells a little better. Now I know their are tons of sites out there that sell wheels, but I'm looking for opinions on which site has the biggest selection with the best prices.

Hopefully I will compile your opinions and come up with a nice set to ride on this summer.

My advice is to find the wheel and tire you like most and then compare every single site that you can find them on. Take the lowest price and the site into Discount Tire, or somewhere like that, and ask them to beat it. You'll be surprised what they can do. That's how I got mine. Told him the price and the site and he said he'd research it. Called me the next day and said he couldn't beat it, they were $200 more. Well, the price I gave him was before tax and shipping, which was going to be around $350. So really, he beat it by $150.
Also, some people have had problems with a vibe or nibble after getting aftermarket wheels. If you buy from the internet you have nobody to go back to with problems. Discount will take care of you and make sure they are mounted correctly. On top of the cheaper price the guy also threw in locking lugnuts and 4 replacement certificates, which cover any unrepairable damage for the life of the tire.

bengleu22 I bought my wheels at discount tire too. By the time you pay shipping and everything the internet isn't that much cheaper. Plus a lot of those sites sell blems and factory secounds with out telling you.

They don't even tell you what the bolt pattern is for the wheels.

I totally agree. Even if discount is a little more expensive, I think it's worth it for the piece of mind. And like I said, they will order anything.

When I ordered my rims they called me up and said one came in with a very small ding in the lip that happened during shipping. They had a replacement for me the next day. I saw it and it was tiny. They probably could have put the messed up one on and I'd have never noticed it. Once an internet company makes the sale, they're done with you. I'm sure they do sell seconds or blems.
