Just wondering if you guys had any suggestions for any online wheel seller other than tire rack? I'm planning on getting new wheels on my Cooper and couldn't really find anyones that I liked on there. I wanted some 17" Falkens, but they're a bit on the heavy side. Trying to find wheels under 20lbs as the Cooper's power is already limited.

Also, do you guys have suggestions for any places in So. Cal to get them mounted and aligned???

I got my wheels from these guys. They're knock-offs, but they're light and come mounted with Kuhmo Ecsta 711's, which are decent... not to mention, can't beat the price...

Keep in mind, they don't come with centering rings. Got a set from a local shop for 9 bucks.

AIR Dynamic Racing

These are the wheels I got. Sharp looking.


Ooo, don't wait... I just noticed the price went up from when I got mine, by about $100.

tires.com can also do direct shipment.

Also check out importhookup.com they can hook you up with local
retailers that sell wheels and drop ship them to your work/house.

Sure there are many choices besides Tirerack although the selection is quite good. You might have to expand your search to include 15" or 16" if you are looking only at 17" rims.

Naturally we know the most about our various NAM sponsors (check out Rspeed.net (some great rims), helix13.com, webbmotorsports.com, mossmini.com, etc)
Other sources-

Some owners like Centerline rims and some like Rotas.

You can post your question on a good shop in the So.Cal forum.
