Default Places to get rims?! Anyone?

Does anyone know a place where I could get a good price on rims and tires? I am talking about prices lower than www.tirerack.com.

The cheapest place I've found online is Victoria Tire, but there's also Super Buy Tires and for reaal CLASSY wheels go to Wheel Experts If you want cheaper, you won't get it from a brick and mortar store unless you know someone. Used or second hand would be the cheapest depending on your haggling skills.

Try some of the Supra specific sites...

mvpmotorsports.com

suprastore.com

They carry cool looking staggered fitments specifically designed for the Supra Turbo... Most if not all should work on the SC300 as the offsets and general wheel clearances are very similar.

LOL, already tried with Dusty, he won't give any discounts, lol. Suprastore I don't even want to deal with for obvious reasons.

Not sure, still looking, but I think I will settle for OZ Superlaggas 18x8 and 18x9. They're not too bad, 18 lbs per rim, look really good on an SC, and they're not too expencive. I just need rims pretty bad because I need to do breaks.

Wheelexperts is AWESOME, but seems to have alot of German/European apps, not as many Japanese, etc.. If you want to go through a retailer for JDM wheels or American quality wheels like HRE, Fikse, Kenesis, I would say to call Steve at Carson Toyota or Dennis at Wheelkinetics.....There are others but both Steve and Dennis are very reputible and established.
