Options to TireRack.com

Greetings,

Now that the northeast is FINALLY getting some warmer weather and the potholes are getting filled; the itch to put new shoes on my Max is getting stronger. It looks like I'm gonna go up to 19's and sell my 18's with worn out Nitto's.

I have purchased from TireRack on other ocassions with much satisfaction but I'm looking for options since I'm not thrilled with their selection of 19" wheels and they don't carry Nitto products. closest thing I saw was the Goodyear g-force.

Are there any other reputable sites that offer equal or better products with more selection and have a great website that I can maybe even see the wheels on my car before buying. BTW, don't try that on TireRack today, it's busted.

I don't want chrome, I'm more conservative.

Thanks,

Bill

I'm looking for alternatives to tirerack.com and the 18's I'm selling to a friend. I think I made that pretty clear by the title "Options to TireRack.com"

wheelmax sucks. Those guys behind the phone are not helpful at all; sounded like they didn't really care if I ordered from them or not.

I only use tirerack.com or tires.com

If you kno what you want, wheelmax is good. My bro bought from them. But agreed... not the best telephon reps there. Vulcan is praised over in the WRX forums, so can't go wrong. WheelOptions are negotiable... just call them, talk to Vic, tell him you're with ImportHookup.com and he'll work with you. Pretty knowledgable... but 10% of the time he's bs'ing you. Just don't get your stuff installed there...
