http://www.wheelsnext.com

Lots to select from, price includes shipping, mounting, balancing, lugs, and you can get lowering springs for free + shipping.

^^^werd

Edit- I ordered mine from wheelmax, got a good deal for saying i was from cobaltss.net, if you call them ask for Al, he can give you a bunch off of the internet prices...tell him I sent you, he will hook you up...

That site is expensive as hell! For what they want for just rims I can get 18's with tires on http://www.discounttire.com and get them locally installed.

i used to work for discount tire. and they dont always have the best, selection and yes they can order any rims you want, but!.. BUT! for instance the rims i got off of Wheelsnext they would order them for me $50 cheaper than they were listed on WN, but had to add shipping and Tax.. so it wasnt such a great deal.


It is always good to shop around.. look many different places, once you find a wheel you like look for it on multiple sites to get the best price. and if you can luck out your local Discount Tire, might be able to make you the best deal just try to push them to beat the online price including your tax and shipping.


Edit: The closest Discount Tire to me is an hr away.. and there is a auto hobby shop on base.. that i can do all my own car stuff.. for 4$ an hour to rent a bay
