I’m on the hunt for new wheels for my car and I’m curious to know what websites you all recommend for both aftermarket and custom options. I’m looking for something that can enhance both the performance and aesthetics of my ride.

Here are a few things I’m considering:

  • Type of Wheels: I’m interested in both OEM and aftermarket wheels. I want to explore different styles that suit my car’s look.
  • Reputable Retailers: I need suggestions for sites that are trustworthy. I’ve had some bad experiences in the past, so I’d love to hear your thoughts on where to find a good selection.
  • Inventory and Variety: A site with a wide selection is critical for me. I don’t want to be limited to just a few choices.
  • Price Comparisons: It would be great to know about any sites that offer good deals or are known for affordable options.

Questions for the Community:

  • What websites have you used for purchasing wheels?
  • Are there any specific brands or styles that you recommend?
  • Any tips for what to look out for when buying wheels online?

I really appreciate any advice you can share. Looking forward to hearing your experiences!

I’ve had good luck with Tire Rack. They have a vast selection and competitive pricing. Plus, their customer reviews are very helpful for making decisions!

Tire Rack is solid, but don’t overlook Discount Tire Direct! They often have great sales and free shipping options.

That’s true, Cindy! I’ve also found that eBay can be a treasure trove for unique aftermarket options if you’re willing to dig a bit.

I’ve used Amazon for wheels as well, and while the selection is decent, make sure to check the seller’s ratings to avoid any issues.

I prefer shopping at local tire shops online—supporting local businesses is important to me, and sometimes they have better prices than big websites.

Any tips on searching for certain styles? I’m currently on the hunt for vintage wheels. Not sure where to start!

Shopping local is a great point, ywaters! However, online platforms like WheelMax often have bulk deals that might not be available in-store. It’s worth comparing them.

I’d suggest checking dedicated websites like Classic Car Restoration Club and forums specifically for vintage cars. They might have leads!

In my experience, while prices matter, user experience can really sour the deal. I’ve had issues with returns on some sites, so read reviews carefully!

I guess it’s easier to complain than to commend! It’s crucial to share both good and bad experiences. Anyone had a particularly bad experience with a site?

I once ordered a set of wheels from a low-key site and they sent the wrong size! Now I stick to established ones.

I’ve had a great experience with Enkei wheels. They’re incredibly durable and handle well under performance conditions. I love the lightweight design too! Highly recommend checking them out.

American Racing wheels are solid! I had a set on my old Mustang. They were durable and made my car handle better. Just stay away from the chrome finish if you drive in winter! They rust easily.

I had a minor issue with my American Racing wheels, but their customer service was really helpful. They solved my problem quickly, which is a big plus for me!

I’ve been looking into Volk Racing wheels as well. They are often touted for their performance in motorsports. Anyone here with experience using them? Did you find them worth the investment?

18

Volk Racing wheels are amazing! The performance increase is noticeable, but yeah, they are on the pricey side. Definitely worth it if you’re serious about racing or performance driving.

I actually have a set of Rotiform wheels, and I love them! They’re beautiful and surprisingly durable. Just be mindful of potholes; they can be a bit vulnerable.

Don’t forget about Rotiform! They have some unique designs. I know they’re not primarily performance wheels, but they can still hold their own on the street. Anyone had long-term experience with them?
