Question Where to get good priced aftermarket wheels and tires?

I see a lot of people that have gotten good deals on their wheels and tires. Where is everyone getting them? Internet? Thanks. Any websites or phone numbers would be appreciated.

Try http://www.tirerack.com/ I ordered some tires from them. The tires were in my driveway the next day. A friend of mine ordered tires and custom wheels. They were delivered the day after he ordered them mounted and balanced.

The Tire Rack is also very good. They just did not have the size tires and wheels I was wanting. My dad ordered a complete wheel and tire package from them for his Benz and was very pleased with them.

scooby14b,

i recently purchased rims online at natltire.com and was very happy with the purchase.

i called a few other online companies, and i dont know if i just got lucky or not, but i caught a real good guy at national.

i was actually looking at a set of centerline rims and the guy actually 'talked me down' to a set of ar's. i couldnt be happier with them, they were delivered on time and all in perfect shape. the guy new his stuff and wasnt pushy or in a rush to get off the phone.

i would use them again in a heartbeat.

The salesman at tirerack actually called me about a week after I recieved my rims/tire to see if I was pleased! I didn't know places still took the time to do that anymore!

I was very pleased with the service and prices from the tirerack.

I like Discount too....I just picked up a set of AR atlas 16x10 and a set of yoko geos in 315/75/16...I got lifetime roto and balance(something you cant get mail order) and the road hazard warranty. Also lugs locks, centers, and chrom stems...picked it all up for 1500.00.....after calling national tire, 4wheelparts, and tire rack, I found the best deal right here at home!

Question

Has anyone shopped from www.victoriatire.com or www.superbuytires.com?? The have the wheels (and prices) I like and I just wanted to know if anybody out there has dealt with any of these two companies. I am about to get my set of wheels and tires and I'd like this to be a pleasant experience.

Question

Howdy!

Tire Rack doesn't carry American Racing. Oh well..

Have a nice day.

------------------
My ride:

Basics:
- '99 XLT F-150

Under hood and back:
- Ram air (Don't ask me how )
- AiRaid intake
- Flowmaster DF 50 Series
- 24x3.5" Stainless steel slashed tips (Yes! Solid polished SS, no cheesy chrome-plated)
...

Outside:
- Precision polished billet grille and plate holders
- American Racing 17x8s polished Pythons (Flushed front AND back)
- Goodyear.. something tires (Expensive is all I know. LOL. No Firestone firecrackers for me either)
- Rhino liner
- Ford nerf bars
- Ford bed rails
...

Inside:
- My girlfriend!
...

Fun stuff:
- Dual sirens Black Widow alarm system/keyless entry (Enough decibels to go deaf in a garage )
- Custom driving lights (Just a cool blue)
- 2 High-Watt lights behind grille (For people who cut me off )
- Dual horns (For people who, again, cut me off)
- Dual wheel locks (So I won't be driving home on bricks!)
- Spare wheel lock (So I won't have to use a brick as a spare )
...

Best of all:
- Texas A&M University aTm front plate! Gig'em Aggies!!
