Hey does anyone have any connections with a wheels and tire shop? I'm looking to get some 18x9 or 19x9 Moda R6's and I want to find them at the best price I can. I know Tire Rack has them but I would rather not have to ship into Canada and Pay UPS's Communist brokerage fees on top of shipping.

The best place I have found for rims/tires is WheelDirect in Scarborough. They can normally work out a deal for you, and have access to all types of rims.

I don't have a hookup or anything, this is just what I have found in my long quest for rims for my last car.

I was just going to keep them as spare rims, but If the price is right I could let them go with the tires aswell.

crazykid and others...my dad's friend owns his own tire business and i can get almost any type of tire for pretty CHEAP! he also likes to get business sooooooooo if ANYONE wants tires we could place an order...

he owns a warehouse and deals with big orders...im ordering a set of Yokohama 245/45ZR17's A520's. But im not sending the order till late march or early april...regular price $245 a tire
he says he can sell for $215 each. But if we get a bigger order going, the price drops a little every time u add more merchandise to the order!

any1 interested???

I second that! Collin is the owner and the place is always busy. Really good prices.

I had them do the repair on the 18" Team dynamic Motorsports I had on my old avenger, and they did a great job, and it was cheap ($100 per rim, which is insanely cheap for an alloy rim).

I also got a deal on tires (225/40/18 kuhmo's) locknuts and install for $1200. I would have to say if I go for rims again, they are getting my business.
