just bought new rims
i tried to shop local, went to a truck shop about a month ago in my area. they told me new rims were coming out in early february and to come back then. went back today, and still no rims. decided to bag my 'local loyality' and to shop whoever could satisfy my needs.
ended up at natltire.com. they were very nice and patient on the phone. i was going to purchase centerline hellcats but found they do not come in a machined finish or my size. they also explained about ford having some sort of unique bolt pattern which limited the rims i could choose from. i actually ended up getting american racing outlawII's which were way cheaper than the centerlines i was originally looking at. the guy on the phone seemed very knowledgeable regarding rims and answered all the questions i had for him
they didnt try to upsell me and seemed to be in no rush to get me off the phone. said i should have them maybe by the end of this coming week.
has anybody else here dealt with these folks?? i saw others here recommend them as a site for wheels and am just wondering if their sales process was nice and painless. i am still nervous about spending the k without seeing the rims first.
soon as i get the rims i will be off to price club/costco for some michilin ltx's.

Tried many local shops looking for my new rims last year. The same goes for the tires. It was amazing to see that not one of them could help me so, I decided after some research to get them from US. Ordered the combo from 4WPW.
