cheap thrills in milton - cheap cheap cheap
www.tiretrends.com - canadian - carry american racing wheels - very good prices
superior tire - all over
mccowan and sheppard - north east corner - two discount places next door to each other
make sure you get 5x115 not 5x114.3 - not worth the risk
no larger than 8 inches wide and tire 225 - baracuda96 has 235 but i can't speak from experience
don't know who carries those rims but again make sure 5x115

what's wrong with 5x114.3 w/ hubcentric rings for our cars??? everyone said it was fine -- cuz that SEVERLY limits the options for rims for our cars -- all the rims i like are only avail in 5x114.3 -- damnit! but the dude at wheel and tire zone in mississauga said he's done it many times on domestics (using hubcentric rings) and no vibration complaints....

I've got Enkeis that are 235/45/17s and absolutely love em... :) Mine are the 5X115 bolt pattern as well... you shouldnt' have any issues with the 5X114.3 with the added centre pieces... a lot of people have em... but you should definitely check with one of em to make sure you're in the clear before ordering or doing anything. Naich has 114.3 on his rims... and I think they're fine... PM him with any questions about them.

Www.wheelsdirect.com - McCowan and Sheppard in Scarborough
www.tiretrends.com - British Columbia
www.superiortire.ca (or com) can't remember - Any location

There are quite a few out there... make sure you compare prices before buying :)

when i was buying quite a number of dealers including tiretrends said they could sell me 114.3 but they wouldn't put them on their own cars. these are people that carry both bolt patterns so they weren't biased. For me if i bought 114.3 i would also be waiting for the vibration on the highway - i guess it's just peace of mind

ok great.. 114.3 works gooood for me...

ok what's the deel with the hubcentric ring? what is it's purpose and why do we alero people need it with 5x114.3 rims and not 5x115 rims? also how do u size the hubcentric ring that will be required?

there was a great article someone posted on the old board.. dunno if anyone has that link again.

thx
