pervitizm Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) So in a few weeks I'll be getting my taxes back as well as a fat ass bonus check from my job. I really want to buy some wheels for my burban since those factory 17s aren't cutting it any more. I've been looking at wheels from sites such as wheelsnext.com, superbuytires.com and from ebay. Anyone here brought rims and tires from online retailers or ebay before? If so how was the experience? Would you do it again? And was it worth the savings vs going to a local rim & tire shop? I'm looking to do either 6's or 4's for the burb. I've also been checking out craigslist to spot a deal on some nice wheels. Not really set on chrome either, would love to get some used painted wheels that I can have repaint to color match my trucks birch silver paint.

BeatBox Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 well if your gonna paint them why spend the money on new? i wouldnt atleast, if you buy some decent used ones and get them painted they are gonna look almost new and you save some $$$. shipping will be an arm and a leg too, id buy used or buy from a shop somewhere close to your area. At discount tire this guy bought some for his tahoe 24s for around 2600 not too bad for new.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to find decent used wheels if I can to do the color matching thing. If I can't find any used wheels and have to go new, then I'm not going to paint them. Can't see me buying brand new $4 to $7k rims and tires, just to turn around and paint them. So far the cheapest set of 26's I've been able to find off of St.Louis' cragslist are a set for $3k here.
