Need Advice
 

(i think i may have posted this twice, SORRy)
Hello, my name is Ben and im new to this site and need some help:

I have a royal blue mazda protege 2003 es. i have factors rims on them but my front left rim is cracking on one spoke, and i just bought new tires and they pointed this out, unfortunaly at a dealerhsip one rim is going to cost me 300 and some change, ive always wanted rim "rims" so i figured this is a perfect oppurtinity to buy some, though i cannot find any sites where would be a reliable place to buy rims and should i get them as a package//rims and tires? any help would be greatly appericiated as i really dont have any mods on ym car besides my windows tinted haha and dont know too much about it. yeh i know, never had time to learn. i really want a truck, so i dont know if its even worth dishing out the money to buy rims but i cant afford a new car right now, something about the protege i dont like, im sure if it looked like 99% of yalls cars then i would love it. so any websites or ideas as of what style would be greatly appericated. thanks! ;)

moved to the correct section "wheels/tires"

There are NUMEROUS places to look for good wheel/tire combo's. And Yes, I recommend buying them as a mounted combo. This will save you time and money and make it just a matter of swapping the wheels over and you're done.

www.tirerack.com
www.discounttire.com
www.wheelguyz.com

check the back of any SCC magazine and there are a hundred rim/tire wholesalers....they are all the same so there's not much difference. Just make sure when you pick them that you get the right ones for your car.

I've seen tirerack have some really nice 15"-16" wheel specials for like $640shipped. thats a great price. Besides TireRack is one of our forum sponsors and moderators. Maybe Wes can answer any questions for you. This is his section.
