wheel shopping?

I'm finally ready to start saving for my rims & rubber, I know what i want, but i'm a little unsure of how I should go about purchasing them. I was just wondering how everyone else got theirs and if ordering from a big online company like wheelmax is a safe decision? Oh, i'm thinking of some 17" Tenzo Passion 5's in gunmetal with prolly some toyo proxes

online shopping usually has benefits such as low price, variety, and sometime free shipping. i recommend these online stores:

wheelmax.com
speedandstyle.com (where i got mine)
whalentire.com

Boilermaker1 is a splendid one to behold

I mail ordered the rims from 1010tires.com in Vancouver... the only place in North America that had them at the time. Then I drove up to Tire Rack to pick up my tires and get them mounted. Had no problem with either place.
