I had tires mounted at Costco and they were good quality, I don't see why they wouldn't have good wheels. I would research the brand of wheels they carry because they carry all sorts of brands.

Thanks! I just thought it would be convenient because I cannot install the wheels myself . . and I think they have some really nice wheels too ..

I like their 20 (JR2) but I drive my car everyday so maybe wouldn't be a good idea. I think their 18s (Flight) are pretty nice too.

I currently have Costco tires, and they've been great! Get free rotations and re-balancing every 10k miles.

I do not think Costco sells rims but it does sell tires. I bought the michelin pilot sport A/S plus from costco and they are very decent. I was deciding between michelin ps2 and A/S. The price was about the same for the 2 sets but treadwear is double on the A/S. Performance is similar with PS2 being slightly better (statement based on what I heard on this forum). The main reason to buy from Costco was they do the installatino for < $10 per tire and comes with hazard warranty (free repair and partial credit toward a new tire). I may, however, get the hankook V12 next time from elsewhere since those Hankook are damn cheap.
