Wheel Websites
What are some sites that allow you to select wheels based on your car info and which wheels would fit? I remember seeing a site probably a year ago, where you could select your car make model and year and it would show a picture of the car, and as you looked through different wheels, it put them on the mock car so you could see what they would look like. Anyone know what this site is, or know of a site that offers a similar feature? Thanks!

Also (Canadian websites that ship to the US)
http://www.1010tires.com
http://www.tiretrends.com
Good prices on both, one takes care of duty, the other, they tack it onto your bill.

Respectable places like tirerack and tires.com (discounttire), and some of the others (I've been told wheelmax has a great rep) will guarantee fitment, especially for 'easy' plus sizes such as Plus 1 or Plus 2. They will pay return shipping if they ship something that doesn't fit, which I've never, ever heard of, anyway!
Also, nothing personal, but the buying power of numbers can't be refuted, and their customer service is excellent. I just bought tires an lugnuts from discounttire to go with the new wheels I bought from someone else, and it was a flawless, quick and painfree transaction. So, if they do have what you're looking for, they might just be the better option, especially considering that they actually answer calls and emails and are readily available for customer service, should you need any
Despite all that, there is (also) certainly something to be said for buying from a local business, especially a reputed and respectable one that is well recommended, and has extensive experience with our cars. Particularly if you're doing something 'extreme' (again, just MO) like large 17's or 18s along with suspension drops etc!
Just felt the need to add this little dose of clarification and reality to the blanket statement (somewhat unprofessional, IMHO, unless it was meant in genuine humor) of dire consequences that precedes this
