Wheel vendor recommendations

Hi all,

There are so many wheel vendor board sponsors, it's hard to know who's good. If you've had a good experience, I hope it's ok by the mods to reply to this thread.

I have a 996 Narrow body, and am looking for 18's along with replacement tires. Would love to get a wheel/tire package for under $3500 so I know that leaves out the premium wheels - HREs, etc.

Thanks.

David, your money can be well spent on a lightly used set of some very nice wheels too. Check the parts for sale and tire and wheel sections. Someone is always changing and upgrading to something different. Champions, HRE, FISKE and BBS all show up used and at big $$$ savings over new.

david... listen to steve's good advice..
I'd even bet if you posted what styles you like that you will receive several PMs as some people dont want to deal with all the lookie-loos.

Thanks, guys. I'm keeping my eyes on the classifieds as well as getting in touch with Vivid Racing and Red Line.

Not sure exactly what I want - I'll know it when I see it. Black centers with polished lips have been catching my eye though.

Thanks,
David

I'm having an email exchange right now with Jon G there right now. The discount tires direct wheels don't appeal to me so much. Seeing what I can afford from you guys.
