Where do you buy your rims/tires? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

tinma · 01-13-2014, 01:00 AM

Im looking to buy rims/tires before all the snow is gone, but I am not sure where to purchase from. I bought my last set from tirerack.com, but this time there is nothing on that site that catches my eye.

I am looking for a good vender that is willing to ship and it wont cost me and arm and a leg. Any recommendations would be great!

Thanks

Try http://www.pmctire.com/en/ they shipped my rims and tires to toronto for free.

There are also folks that have some here in Canadian Classifieds, I also have a full set there myself. Always a way to save a lot of dough.

I got my wheels from Imageinmotion, gave me a decent deal and shipped 4 wheels across the country (BC to NS) for 90 bucks. I dont have tires yet however.

I got my tires and wheels from gbtires.ca in Mississauga, Samson can get you pretty much anything you want. If you're not in the GTA I'm not sure how prices are once you factor in shipping, but if you're local the prices are great.

got rims, and tires at http://www.1010tires.com/
they are in vancouver so shipping wasn't bad at all

thanks everyone

I will look at all the sites everyone provided on this thread!

You in the GTA?

I usually go with Tires23.com or Kipling Tire, both are pretty competitively priced and local. Always had good service with both. Tires23 will give you quotes via email too which is nice.

PMC Tire said it ships in Ontario for free. check it out.

DR 86 · 01-13-2014, 06:11 PM

+1 for PMC, cheapest price in Canada I found. Still cheaper to do tirerack though. I ship tires and new wheels to installer in Buffalo, drive over on crappy tires and wheels I don't want, swap, dump the old tires/wheels and drive back across.

tinma · 01-13-2014, 06:39 PM

stupid question...but am i doing something wrong with the PMC site? im only getting 2 different brands (Fastwheels & RTX Wheels).

protpibe · 01-13-2014, 06:53 PM

I ordered my wheels from a vendor on here, and my tires through Tire Rack. Tire Rack now charges brokerage and duty up front as part of shipping costs, so there aren't any surprises. I work for a dealership and Tire Rack is extremely competitive. More often than not, the shipped cost is either at or below our wholesale cost.

Go to the site and don't fill in your car. choose wheels and size 16" and then do the search. = 849 products. nuber of bolts 5 = 506 bolt circle 100 = 83. then go down the list and see if there is anything you like. you can refine the list with width and off set etc.
