Discount Tire owns and operates Tire Rack so those are two good places to look. Both sites offer different products so you can get a good idea of what fits and what is available. I put together a package on Tire Rack, took it into Discount Tire and got a better deal (a few bucks on wheels and tires plus no shipping costs). Another relatively good site is Edge Racing. In my opinion they do not offer the best selection of wheels (some no-name brands) but have a really good selection of tires to bundle with the wheels. Their prices were very comparable to both Tire Rack and Discount Tire. Good luck and happy shopping!

wow.. thanks didn't know all that.

Are there any brand to stay away from. I had some cheaper ASA/Voxx wheels on my old car, hit a nasty pot hole and it cracked. Def. don't want that happening.. and I know nothing about wheel manufactures.

Well this was more a missing piece of road from construction in NJ, 12 other cars hit the same thing and were on the side of the road too.. I guess that doesn't mean to much

I know the weight will make a dif, obviously it will take more power to roatate a heaver mass. but, how much dif will it make? Does anyone have any idea or suggestion

the wheels i think i want are the 5zigen Sport Engine Sc3000 but 22lbs each
I like the 5zigen Fn01r-c Hv @ 17.5 lbs too, but would rather the sport en engines

The Sport Engines are HAWT!! I really like the classic mesh look. Especially in Hyper Black! If you want
them to sit almost flush with the fenders, go with a +35 offset.
