    Online Wheels

    What do you guys think about buying wheels online do you feel that it is a good idea, what about fitment issues and having to send them back if they don't fit like you want ??

    Just make sure you research the size and style you want. Check to see what sizes other people with the same car are running, ask all questions before placing your order and make sure the wheels you want are instock before you buy them. I ordered my wheels from www.wheelguyz.com and I had no major problems. You do not want to have to return wheels you buy online, you will have to pay return shipping and most likely a 20% or more restocking fee.

    yea i bought my wheels from www.wheelmax.com and i was a bit iffy in the beginnning but it turned out to be apretty good deal. just make sure that what you buy is for your car. the only problem i had was getting the wheels out of the plastic theyre wrapped in!!

    Yeah if you research what you want and make sure you get a good deal like free shipping, free mounting and balancing, and free lug nuts. You could come out cheaper than going to a local shop.

    I have a friend who ordered from Wheelguyz and he hated the deal. They would'nt answer thier phones, they sent him the wrong color wheels (black instead of gunmetal) and then they wanted him to pay for shipping back to them. :evil:

    I had a little problem with them also but they came through. The wheels are slightly different than the picture but I actually like them better this way. Definatly not the best online purchase I've ever made, but I've had worse also.

    be carefull though. wheels online can be a good deal , but sometimes they are a bit different. i ordered rotas for my VW and they were a perfect fit exactly what the ebay auction said. but when i got wheels for my galant they said that they would be 18x7.5 and et45 and they ended up being 18x8 and et38 so I'm going to rub when i lower. but they look good hehe
