Default Any good wheel and tire buying experiences online?

Anyone purchase wheels and tires online and get exactly what they expected at a great price? Im mostly looking for a good deal but don't wanna get screwed in the process.

Looking for a set of agressive looking 32's w/ steel D windows.

Please post links if you got em. Thanks!

I second summit. They usually have free shipping now on everything. You may have to pay a small packaging charge though. I also had good luck ordering from www.4wd.com. Find a cheaper price and they will beat it. I once found 31x10.5 BFG's for $121 online and 4wd listed them at $156. They beat the price but i ended up with trxus instead....stupid me .

www.tirerack.com has alot of different tire brands to choose from. Ebay has Maxxis BigHorn deals all over the place.

Don't forget about your local wal-mart tire/lube or Same's Club. They sell tires and will order for you. I hear alot of goof stuff about sam's club and cheap bfgoodrich deals.

I got a set of 31x10.5 Interco Trxus tires M/Ts. They are a great buy! they wear well on the road and arent too incredibly loud and pretty resonable priced. they amazing traction in the snow and mud. I got some crager sim. bead locks...dont get those, they rust all around the the bead locks especially in minnesota where we use a crap load of salt on the roads.

Yeah same thing happened to my buddy's dodge ram with those sim locks. The rear wheels rusted so badly after two years. They look ugly now.

truckaddons.com will beat any price and shipping is fair.

Also, summit for wheels.

My buddy got a set of the sim bead locks from Summit and added a couple coats of clear before they got the rust and they still look good 18 months later, but we don't have salt on the roads but he goes to the beach alot with it.

Salt's the big problem. They salt the roads almost everyday it snows here so we get a continuous coat of it most of the winter. It gets kicked back from the front tires to the rear wheels and they start rusting way before the fronts do. His front wheels are almost perfect but his rears are rusted all over the place. He doesn't rotate so the fronts will never rust probably.

That clear coat is a good idea. Even though theres no salt in your area i bet it still would work in the salty regions. Do you guys know of anything i can do to treat the rust. Its only on the bead lock rim part not on any other part of the rim just around beads itself. Is there somethin i can buy to spray on there or something because i cant afford to buy new rims and mount them again.
