Why not use Americas Tire which matches Costco pricing IF they are lower. Also free roaring and balancing, plus you can make an appointment unlike Costco. Americas Tire sells come good name brand wheels.

Thanks for that tip, but we don't have that store in Medford, OR.
I live 5 min from our Costco, and can drop off the car and come back to get it when it is ready. I also like their Nitro fill service.

Should be ok but make sure they're lighter or same weight as stock rims.

Most of the aftermarket wheels are aluminum alloys, and pretty light.

^^^^Gosh Guys there's so much more to it than that. Do a search and do some reading. Wheels are such an important part of the car - There purchase should not be taken lightly.

Why do you think members are posting questions? We know "there" (?) purchase must not be taken lightly. I have spent the better part of three days just researching maker reviews by people who know what they are talking about, like this guy who seems to know his stuff: http://tires.about.com/od/buyers_gui...ket-Wheels.htm
