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.
