store, dont feel comfortable buying something $1,000 online. shippings a bitch, pay what $100. if somethings wrong you have to pay another $100 to ship it back. if you buy it from a store and you have problems, you just take it back and bitch. i know i'm glad i bought it from a store cause they balanced the wheels wrong. they balanced it 3 times, threw in hub rings and everything.. still had problems so they gave up and gave me money to take it elsewhere and got it fixed... but ya if something goes wrong, not much you could do over the phone.

Rep Power: 417 i got mine at San Fernando Tires & Wheels. they have 3 different locations, i went to the one on magnolia. it was cheap, service was alright. i think i explained what happened... but ya they gave me some money to take it elsewhere but i had to work for it, kept calling and bugging the guy... i heard the service in san fernando was bad tho. n la puente is far...
i think i also visited rent-a-wheel but they charge alot. also try tuner shops, they should have tons of catalogs on wheels. also check out the small wheel and tire places. main thing is know what you want and know how much you can get it for. if you want, i'll help you find a good price on wheels... i got my 18" focal f5s with falken 512s for 1250 out the door. i saw it online for 1100 + 100 shipping(keep in mind it with some really cheap tires) so i was trying to get places to match the price but none of them would but i figured $50 more is worth the hassle of dealing with online stores.
