..heres a dumb question, i dont even know if it goes here..but it is about rims and tires...anyways has anyone used 4wheelparts.com to buy rims and tires and etc with their "credit card" or making payments? is it worth it? just wondering cause i dont have all the cash up front to buy rims and tires at the same time and i have purrrfect credit.

 

I prefer to use a credit card when making large purchases online in case there is a problem. I feel better knowing that if there is a problem of some sort it will be me and a credit card company against the vendor vs. me on my own.

 

gotta point there bud...but are you talking about a credit card by the site with their program or just ur personal one?

 

I just recently bought tire/wheel set from them and I got their CC from their site. It is through GE Online. GE Online is also the company behind ****s Sporting Goods card I had. they are pretty good to deal with and easy to give credit. I didnt have any problem using their customer service when I needed it either. 4wheelparts was pretty good to deal with as well. I was a little impatient with them because it was pushing into the holidays and I was anxious to get my stuf before I went out of town. I dealt with 1 guy the whole time (Lance) if ya need him. Tires/wheels came secured on a pallet, nicely wrapped, mounted and balanced, and they threw in a pretty nice set of lug nuts to go with the wheels. Hope this helps!!!

 

that helped alot sir. i was just making sure before i got myself ina situation i couldnt get out of haha...i really wanted to get some xd series hoss or the new spys with nitto mud grapplers but for some reason some1 told me i couldnt cause the backspacing doesnt match? so i have to look for something different now.

 

i bought a few things from 4wheelparts. at the start they had pretty good service, called the day after to confirm everything, but took like 5 weeks to get to my door. left me on hold for over an hour, didnt call back, but eventually it turned out good. im pretty sure i would go to the local store from now on, thats what i'll be doing.
goodluck!

 

geez, i cant wait 4 weeks lol..is there any other sites that are well known other then 4wps?

 

heres another dumb question..is offset the same as backspacing? sorry im a n00b

 

My CC dont have a high enough balance for the rims n tires i want to get. LOL

 

Backspacing and offset are two different ways of measuring the same thing. Backspacing is just much easier to understand. It's the distance from the mounting surface of the wheel (where it bolts to the hub) to it's rear edge.

 

..heres another question..will 6x5.5 fit or does it have to be 6x135????

 

It's not worth it if you can't pay it down right away. Sit and figure what your rims and tires will cost you in the long run on credit. Save your money and buy them with cash...or with a credit card that's paid immediately. Been there done that don't have the rims anymore. Cost way too much in the long run.

 

I would just save the last bit up myself, it doesnt matter if you have perfect credit, if your late on one payment they will jack the interest rate to 25-30%. I havent used credit in years, my parents with a 780 credit score just cancelled 2 cards (one from GE fin, the other discover) after exactly what I described above. They were surprised with a 900+ dollar heating oil bill and just barely passed 30 days (they NEVER were late before this). The credit / financial / banks etc. can take thier jacked up credit programs and stick it where the sun dont shine. I cant tell you how livid I am with these companies, disabled retires with P_E_R_F_E_C_T credit and they pull this crap.
