The Wheels Thread

Recommended Posts

There's not many car marques out there that can claim to nail the styling of OEM Wheels on factory cars. Unless you've got a few hundred thousand that is for the top-of-the-line cars!

With that in mind, one of the first upgrades customers do is to add wheels that better suit their needs - be it style, weight, race, strength or otherwise.

We don't often stock wheels. With 10's of different widths, sizes, diameters, offsets, bolt-patterns, colors and face types (not to mention brands, finishes and custom PCD's!) it's near impossible to stock enough options to cover everyone's wants. I think adding up all the different wheel options presents over 2,000 unique wheels from the brands we sell that you can choose between!

Secondly, wheels are no cheaper or expensive to hold in stock or order in as wanted - we always do the sharpest spot price we can!

So with that in mind, I hope some of the following brands have wheels and options that suit your needs. I'll comment on each brand to help you refine your own search a little so that you can find the style wanted, quicker!
