Hi All,

Anyone have any experience with some online retailers both Australian and international?

I'm finally looking to buy some nice alloys for my car.

Thanks

http://www.tirerack.com/ is a good one, shipping is about 2-300 from what people say. With the big price differences (especially in tyres) you still usually come out ahead.

If you want custom, light, forged wheels in big sizes http://www.ccwheel.com/files/wheelprofiles.php is good, expensive, but not really for what you are getting.

http://www.1010tires.com/ stock some tyre brands that tire rack doesnt like toyo (mmmm R888's) and seem to be one of the bigger players as well so can do a decent price. They have wheels as well.

Like most places they stock rubbish sold cheap and quality but the price is much higher.

You do get what you pay for when it comes to tyres but it also pays to shop around.

Hey Damian.

I personally didn't like most of what was on Tempe, because everything was so common, a lot of the styles of seen since early 00's. A bit boring.
