Exclamation Online Wheel Stores: Lists and Reviews

Due to all the recent negative experiences with certain online wheel stores, I'm gonna start this sticky thread so that other members can avoid getting shafted by the same places.


Please post your reviews here of online wheel stores ... GOOD and BAD.

Some stuff you can include in your post :

- delivery times
- condition of wheels on arrival
- shipping cost
- whether you got what you asked for
- whether you would buy again from them
- customer service
- etc. etc.

EDIT: ... oh, and their website too

9 Days from Vancouver to Indiana (Including customs clearance)
4 rims in factory boxes w/ all hardware
$56 for shipping of rims only (I think $14 each is fair)
Absolutely what I asked for
I recommend them... just keep an eye on the exchange rate. Sometimes the prices in US are good, sometimes not.

Tire Rack
Well, its Tire Rack... they're just awesome.

Now I know people say that wheelmax sux but Ive had a pretty good experience with them. shipping is free and they have fairly good prices.
Customer service could be better, you have to call them to find out the tracking info on your wheels. (they dont give tracking #'s)
I ordered My wheels and they arrived 10 days later as promised.(from FL to MD)
The wheels came wrapped properly and in excellent condition with all hardware included.
I know my experience with them is rare, Ive heard horror stories about wheel max. But on this occasion they did a pretty a good job. I probably would buy from them again.

Loved their customer service!!! They're very helpful on the phone while ordering and fast replies through e-mail if you had any questions. Plus, the guy who took my order (Eric), followed up with an e-mail to inform me that my wheels were sent and included FedEx tracking numbers.

Took about a week and a half to two weeks to receive wheels. Two rims/tires per box, 2 boxes. Everything was included in perfect condition. Shipping for me was 100 bucks, but that all depends on where you live.

I totally recommend them. Good stuff!

I would say it is a good company....good prices...
When I ordered my rims they sent me the wrong ones first
When I called they set-up a truck to come and pick them up and ship them back for free.
Once I told them that the truck came they shipped me the right ones.
The only bad thing I have against them is that it is hard to get a hold of someone there at times. took about half a week for first set to come then another week for second.

17" Hurricane Wheel Package (Racing Hart C2 Evo Replicas)
$549 + $40 for upgrade to 215/45/17 tires + $60 mounting, balancing, and lugnuts= $650 shipped

-Ordered on Sunday Night, Got them on Friday the same week.
-Wheels were wrapped nicely in 4 separate boxes with bubble wrap
-Shipping was Free
-For 17" they look kinda small, but it's probably because of the size of tire, it's a 17" rim no matter what though, so I can't really complain
-Definitely buy from them again. They have the best prices on the net, competing with Wheelmax, but they have bad stories.
-Ordering was easy over the phone, and he didn't insist that I buy all these extras that would raise the price up.

I have had the same experience, they said 7 days to ship from FL to TX, got them in 6 days. I purchased some 17's, Silver Exel Ennio's, with Ventus HRII's, 215/40's. I had no problems, the finish is not the best on the wheels, but pretty good for what you pay. I am pretty picky about things, but have no complaints with my dealings with them.

www.tirerack.com

The Tire Rack is the king of customer service and has the number 1 website for information on tires. In the past 3 years I've placed six orders for tires, struts, etc. -- spent almost $1,800

Shipping Cost: Actual UPS or Fedex charges will be computed on Tire Rack website
Shipping Time: You receive e-mail confirmation of shipment & tracking number
Condition: Always packaged appropriately
Buy Again: Of course


www.importhookup.com
www.wheeloptions.com

This is the most confusing deal on the internet, but I use them anyway! If you log on to the Import Hookup website, they have links to vendors that they have made special deals with. One of those companies is Wheeloptions--just follow the ordering instructions when you find a wheel you like. I have placed 2 orders with them valued at $3,350

Shipping Cost: No charge
Shipping Time: 2 weeks
Condition: Came in the original Rays Engineering Japanese Boxes
Customer Service: They act like they have a computer, but it seems to be down a lot lease: When I asked for shipping information, they didn't give me the tracking number. They looked up the UPS info, then came back on the phone and said "the wheels will be there Wednesday." It was true - the wheels showed up that Wednesday, but customer service gets 2 stars out of 5.
Buy Again: I bought twice, so I guess the answer is yes

Discount Tire Direct
www.discounttiredirect.com
FREE shipping, took 4 days from Texas to Florida, wheels arrived perfect despite the UPS guy treating them like absolute **** (I actually watched him let one roll off the truck)
They were exactly as described, I would definitely buy from them again.
Oh yeah, free hub centric rings with any wheel purchase and free mounting and balancing when you buy your tires at the same time. Good stuff!

I ordered from wheelmax.com at first worrying about if they were gonna come with the right ones...etc. but after I ordered, the wheels arrived in mint packaged conditions 7 days later...3 days later than I expected but I got everything in great order. Their customer service was awesome, very helpful and the prices were great with free shipping. Couldn't ask for a better service and product.

The guy that worked there was a member on this site, so he hooked me up. $925 + $100 shipping = $1025 from Florida to Texas. Ordered by phone, and he sent them out either that day or the next. It took less than a week to get to my house. Included the Tuner Lug nuts for my wheels, mounted and balanced tires. Good service. Recommend!

Thumbs up Review of vulcantire.com

When I was looking for a place to buy my Falken ZE-512s, I tried going to falkentires.com to find some more info for them. That redirected me to Vulcan Tire. They had by far the cheapest price for the Falkens of any other online store I had seen. My 205/60/15's were $43 each! Shipping varies by location but for me, the total price was $210 shipped. That was much cheaper than all the other shipped prices I had seen at other websites.

They also have a 30 day guarantee on most Falken tires.

So I ordered on Saturday, November 8th, and they arrived on Thursday, November 13th. Since UPS doesn't work on Saturday or Sunday, that means they shipped on Monday and arrived on Thursday.

Fast shipping, excellent prices.

I totally recommend them.

(btw, Falken's website is falkentire.com, not falkentires.com as I had first tried above, hence the redirection.)

chicohonda02 has a spectacular aura aboutchicohonda02 has a spectacular aura about
TIRERACK.COM


I went with TIRERACK after weeks of debate.

Rating Overall: 9 out of 10

I ordered my tires on a Monday and payed for the 3 Day Fed Ex for $30.
Give a day for processing and I had my tires by Friday. No one ever knocked on the door from Fed Ex, just dropped them off. They look kinda beat up on the otside, but perhaps a little cleaning and shining up the tires will help. I expected them to be shipped in a box or something, but each pair tied together.

I got some Yoko's AVS ES100 205/60R15 's

PAYED: $338 Best deal I could find. Saved about a $130 over Local Wheelworks.

RECOMMENDATION: GO WITH THESE GUYS, QUICK AND A PLEASURE TO DO BUSINESS WITH.

I wanted to order from wheelsnext at first, but their prices were so unbelieveable, it freaked me out a bit, so I called them and ask how many tires/wheels are in the package, and the woman told me one..."ONE!" so either she doesn't know her crap or she thinks I'm stupid and it was a stupid question...well for giovanna rims, tires, balancing and free springs + free shipping sounded unrealistic for me...so BLAH!

I purchased my Konig's through G-FORCEPERFORMANCEANDSOUND.COM Excellent customer service when I called and the wheels came double boxed. Hubrings were included and they have free mounting and balancing on wheel and tire packages.
