Anybody else HATE buying wheels?
I've having one hell of a time buying wheels!
My OEM 15's have 30k miles on them and the tires are bald. Obviously a great time for upgrade..
BUT, I've probably looked at 100+ wheels and still haven't found one I've liked enough to settle on.
(tongue in cheek) Anybody want to borrow my Visa and order for me?

Don't be in a rush. Check out all the vendors on NAM- quite a few have wheels.
IF none look just right then you can keep the stock 15" wheels and just change tires while you wait.
205/55-15
or
195/60-15
are workable sizes.
If you limit yourself to one diameter size then choices could be limited.
If you open it up to any size from 15 to 18" then you have many choices.
My daily street wheels? OEM 15" wheels and Stock All Season tires.

I always stayed with the factory wheels as there are quite a few to chose from and you'll already know how they're gonna look.

At least you can narrow down what you like and do not like in terms of styles, colors etc. It is a good starting point.

I live in Ajax, Ontario CANADA, not far from Toronto.
I am currently in the market for some new rims. Looking to upgrade from my 16's to 17s, then use my stock 16s for the winter.
Has anyone come across good deals in Canada, or at least border cities (ie buffalo or detroit) for rims? Very rarely can you find a good deal in Canada for just about anything.

The other two I know in Canada are www.tiretrends.com and www.1010tires.com.
