Rims at Sears

At sears you can get rims (without tires), a set of 18's, for 299.99 They have Motegi, Enkei, American Racing, and some other brands. I think I'm gonna go through them when I get my rims. Has anyone else delt with them?

-Ian

PS- I think I'm gonna go with the Motegi MR7's.

Actually, Sears has a very good rim selection. I think they start at $299.99 for an 18" rim though. As much as people may laugh at your buying wheels from Sears, they actually have an excellent selection. Though usually not in stock, they can get you almost any brand of wheel (that includes Volk, Racing Hart, SSR, and BBS).

Hey, if you people are looking for great RIms prices visit: www.wheelmax.com

My friend bought a set of 17" with tires, $900 shipped.

I do not work with this company so don't think i am trying to sell anything.

Actually that is a good site, I bought my Racing Harts from them and got them $100 cheaper shipped than anyone else would sell them to me for. However I don't think you'll beat $300/set of 18"s.

Yeah Sears has an ok selection and they have a great service department, but i remember last time i looked there b4 i bought mine, they were a little much, but i was looking at MOMO Arrows, i recommend where i got mine, www.whalentire.com if u get rims and tires they put the tires on the rims so when they come to ur door that r ready to be put on. Shipping was good 2 about $100 for rims and tires or like $50 just for rims

unless you don't care about weight don't get the MR7s. they weigh like 27 lbs a piece. btw, they are a REALLY common wheel. i just got back from a car show today and there were 4 cars with them (including on of my friends).

What rims for under $300?

What rims do they have for under $300 a set? Also, how much for 17"s? Is this a special promo? I have never seen their rims THAT cheap...

when they post the prices, don't they post them for like 14" rims, or the smallest size? And as you increase sizes it gets alot more expensive.

300$ for a set of 18"? haha yea right... sorry but i won't believe that. When i looked into it, they had 16" crap brand rims for 130$+ EACH. 300$ sounds like a price they'd charge Per rim with a tire. But 300$ for a set of 18s is bull****.

Nobody should sell American Racing rims. Well, nobody should buy American Racing rims. That's all that people here buy though :/

Sears seems to have a decent selection, surprisingly. Don't know anything more about dealing with them though - all I'd buy if anything for my max would be 97-99 5-spokes (imo, something like a maxima/cars that I can afford are nowhere near flossy enough for a set of large, heavy chromers...seems mismatched).

they look good, but are extremely common and they are also kinda heavy. when i say common, i saw 4 cars at the same show that all had the same rims (MR7s) but if you dont care then go for it
