Just wondering where the calgary ss/sc's are getting their winter wheels as I need to start looking pretty soon.

 

x2 also wondering for edm area.....I dont want to buy another set of 18" winter tires, i think i am going to go will 16" steal rims this yr, is anyone selling some or know a place that is cheap??
(sorry for hijacking your thread, just fique incase anyone from edm comes on here, they might be able to help me too....)

 

haha no prob man i was actually gonna say alberta anyway. I'd drive to Edmonton if its worth it

 

I'm looking in edmonton as well... also what brand is the best?

 

What are you looking for....... Best price? Best Quality? Best bang for buck?

 

I couldn't care less if they're just straight steelies haha. I just want to know where to find some cheap winter wheels because the dealer will obviously way overprice anything that will fit AFAIK

 

have you tried any tire shops?? last year i was trying and had a hard time....also the dealer was trying to tell me to go with 15" rims instead of 16" after trying to explain to them that 15" dont fit on a ss/sc cause are brakes are too big....

 

nope not yet. but its probably not a bad idea i guess

 

I know that Crappy Tire had steel rims for like 120 each? My personal plan is to make a day trip down to Pick and Pull and grab 4 tires off some shitbox that will fit - Rims there will run u like 20$ each and then just find some tires at like Fountain Tire - I have a buddy who works there I'll see if I can get any info on what they will run...

do you want real winter tires or are you looking for All Seasons or ??

 

gonna do real winter tires but my issue is mostly where to find the actual wheel itself

 

you guys should check out on of the g5 sites,the G5GT rims hold up fine in the winter.

 

well what type of wheel specs are u looking for? I can ask my buddy at Fountain Tire to see what they have or can get in for you?

 

don't really care man as long as it works and clears my brakes. the cheaper the better lol

 

i'm looking for good tires... best quality i'd go with... i'm looking for 16' steel rims too

My friend said i could get them through a dealership for about 800 for the tires w/ rims

 

How many **** boxes at pick and pull have a 5x110 bolt pattern??? Its a odd bolt pattern, I would be very suprised if you find anything there.... but let us know about your buddy with prices....maybe get him to ask his boss if he would give us a deal if a bunch of us go there to buy winter tires and rims??

 

... you guys are better off going to a real tire shop as opposed to CanTi. They'll actually have the rims in stock, or atleast in the city.

Last year when I went though this, I ended up spending $1000 on tires and 16" rims... although i ended up with one of the most bad ass styles of tire... the Toyo G02 Observe.
Remember that nasty snow storm Sask got hit with last year??... those bad boys didn't have any trouble getting me home in that weather.


Oh.. and if Canadian Tire tries to charge you $120/rim... tell them to blow you... they quoted me $70/rim last year.... needless to say, I still didn't buy there.

 

yeah 120/rim is crazy.....
Where did you go for rims and tires??

 

My uncle owns a tire shop by my home town. So I basically got dealer pricing on everything.
If you want to make the trip, it's CLS Tire in Wynyard. Only like 6-8 hours from there.

But honestly, I 'm a fan of KalTire. I'd say they have the best prices out of any tire retailer.

 

I'm gonna get 17" rims (74.99 each) from crappy tire and probably buy Dunlop Winter Sport M3's at Fountain Tire

 

i m rocking Perelli four seasons...

but i only live in ohio so...still snowy...but not as much as you guys

 

Ya up here it's the snow is pretty excessive

 

Yeah.... We almost need to run tire chains here in alberta....haha....

 

So apparently crappy tire doesn't have 17' steel wheels for my car... does anyone know where i can get some? Would the dealership carry them?

 

Why 17" steel rims?? They would probally be pretty pricey if you do find one.....but for winter, you want a higher profile tire because they will have more traction.... and if you are just going with steel rims, I would just go 16" rims, If you went with 17s maybe look into some of the cheap alum alloys instead... I think theres some on tirerack and other online places for like 100-150us/rim.... I know some ASA stuff is pretty cheap....

 

+1
Unless your running a big brake kit, 16" rims is the way to go.
Kal Tire has 5x110 steelies in stock usually.
