Recommendations for shops for rims - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Agnostik · 04-25-2013, 12:32 AM

So been looking to buy new summer rims and have been primarily looking at tirerack.

However, was curious if anyone knows of a good place with good selection that comes close to matching tirerack prices in Canada, Calgary if at all possible.

Been looking at getting a set of gold Enkei RPF1 for my whiteout, and would be cool to find them at best price. A place local that can come close in price would be great especially if they could do a decent install as well (recommendations on places to get install of rubber on rims would be great as well).

ON a side note, anyone have any good suggestions on a gold/bronze rim that is light like the RPFs and look as good if not better?

Urban Experience. Have not bought any wheels from them but my buddies say they have a decent price.

Just look online to see what rim you like and buy local.

Find out what rim and specs you want and give Mo @ AlphaMotorsports a shout for a quote. He is local.

Tunerworks has been very helpful to me, and their price for the KW V3 coilovers was much cheaper than what they sell for online (~2100). They still have my stuff in their warehouse so it's not on yet, was waiting for the weather to clear.

Isn't 1010 Tires Canadian? Good online pricing, often free shipping. Not quite local but no duty/brokerage

JRP in mississauga

but really, anyone with a catalogue can order them, it's not service work.

so it's you're call whether you want to support a large organization like tirerack or a local shop.

Didn't realize you are in Alberta.

gbtires.ca is great if you're in the GTA, probably not so great if they have to ship to Calgary.

Try giving Rim To Rim Tire Centre a call, they are located in Okotoks which is fairly close to you. 403 938-3110 ask for Pat.

I second urban x

I see what UrbanX is like. Did take a peek at 1010tires and they seemed a bit cheaper after shipping and other charges than tirerack.

And having someone in Calgary endorse them does raise my confidence level.
