....rim Shopping Is Not Easy

[Alero04]

all the rims thats ive seen and liked are now boring and dull....im running out of sites to go to that wont charge me all my limbs for shipping. i THOUGHT i wanted the mille miglia action sports but now they arent appealing to me anymore...besides wheelmax.com, tirerack.com, 1010tires.com, megaperformance.com...what other rim site are there that have a large variety of rims...cuz honestly i have the cash for them and have NO idea what ones to get....
a poor little canadian girl wants rim help :D

wow thanks guys~
i think that dragon wheel site is good...so far... :blink:

[Alero04]

k maybe not....omg i cannot find any rims that id want to spend like 2-3k on...this isnt fair :(

[Grouch]

again.....the Wheel and Tire FAQ thread (http://invision.aleromod.com/index.php?showtopic=20) has links to many many wheel sites.

Is there any rim shops in your town or close to your town. Just go in there if there is they can get pretty much everything.

[mixmastercase]

With just a little bit of searching on Canada411 I found this shop in your town. If they don't do rims and tires I'm sure they could direct you to somebody who does that is close by. They are called the Tint King

Click on the size & price & you'll see that wheel on the Alero pictured, so you can see in advance what the wheels will look like on an Alero. On the left you can change the color of the car to match yours. Good luck.

Tint king is just like crappy tire(canadian tire)...and also coastal tire has rims...but they basically just carry all american racing and i wanna be original not like all the morons around here. my bf bought katanas when he had his grand am and everyone was like pissing themselves that someone in this city bought GOOD rims lol

He sold his Alero, his oppinion doesn't count :lol:

[cutelilcntrygrl]

But yet he still has his alero in his sig. :wacko:

[Alero04]

yea but pimpalero's are American Racing...and im sure they're fine...but every ricer in my city has american racing....im trying to steer away from being anything like them lol :P

[Alero04]

question...buying chrome wheels...now, living in a city FULL of potholes, would it be assinine to get chrome? cuz i was told(i kno i kno...morons live in my city :lol: )that chrome is...heavier...or dense or SOMETHING that isnt good to get for my city...does it matter if there are potholes? i mean i kno i have to avoid them like the plague regardless if i get chrome or not. can someone enlighten this bored a** working girl? :blink:

ummm no. he had the same exact rims as me except in 17's.

[99BLKALERO]

i would check ebay..there is a set out there now...18's....799...wish I could afford them...

[Alero04]

well he told me he had the american racing ones...he linked me to the american racing site lol. im just telling what i was told.... :)

[No53Alero]

the best way would be to buy a Lowrider Magazine. That's filled w/ tons and tons of Tire/wheel places. Bought some from a place in Cali and it was only $80 to ship to Ky. Rims only cost me $580 shipped for 18" diablo Vienna's.

[Alero04]

but like i asked before and u all chose to ignore :(
with chrome....are they heavier, or denser or whatever?! cuz i was told that they shouldnt be bought for my city.... :blink:

http://www.americanracing.com/wheels/details.asp?wheelid=147&name=Casino%20Chrome&style=683&desc=1-piece%20chrome%20plated%20alloy&section=PÂ;-)

i had 17s in those.Â;-) 18s prolly look better, i dunno

thats what he said to me in the pm i got about his rims.... :blink:
i see that they are the same...which is why i dunno why he linked me to american racing's site....art thou confused? i be! :huh:

[koruptid]

check ebay i got my rims for $425 they have all kinds of poop im sure they would have what your looking for

[1WhiteOSV]

If anything I'd think heavier would be better...more durable. My wheels are aluminum and I was run off the road last fall and hit a pot hole..and this happened to me:

http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/4/web/424000-424999/424360_140_full.jpg

I love my rims, don't get me wrong. But it'd make sense that more dense=more durable (I could be wrong...so don't quote me).

I can't believe you have 3G's to drop on wheels and you can't find ANYTHING. There's sooo much u can get for that price. But good luck!

[Alero04]

yea i kno there is but nothing is hitting my fancy.....im verrrrrrrrry picky. i dont wanna be like the ppl here in my city...so im taking my time to find the PERFECT rims :D
