Anybody have some good suggestions? I don't want to spend a ton of $$$ on them since the car isn't driven a whole lot.
I have been searching on the web for a few weeks now but everytime I find a good price on ones I like, I check the business with the BBB and have bad results. :frown:
I have even contacted a couple of members on here that claim to give good prices but can't seem to get a reply. :confused:
Have money, want to spend but can't find reputable place.
 
details, details, details!

hmmm... You need to be more specific!

- Price-range? ($/wheel, total package, etc)

- Forged or cast?

- Original/authentic or knock-offs?

- Particular brands of interest?

- Domestic or JDM?


I'm sure once those parameters have been completed, many will chime in to assist or offer insights! :cool:
 
I ordered mine TSW Kyalami wheels and Pirelli tires through local American Tires. They are very helpful and being a long term customer with 4 other cars, they ordered the wheels for me without asking for deposit and gave me a set of Turner lugs for free. Basically, they can order any wheels for you. Although their price is a bit higher than other online store, but they installed them for you to ensure no rubbing and other issues. Also, they offer free flat tire repair and free tires balancing every 3-5k miles which definately worth the extra $$$ spent.

No more than $800-$1k for just wheels
Don't care how they are made.
Knock offs are fine.
No particular brand since I have found several different ones so far.
Domestic due to less $$.

My job deals with American Tire on a daily basis. I will give them a call and see if they can help.
Thanks for the tip. :smile:
 
I was extremely specific with the type of wheels I wanted, and didn't seem to get any response from the folks I PM'd here. I went through my local discount tire. Cost me about $50 more, but at least they were responsive. :biggrin:

Can I ask who you had trouble getting a PM response from?

If you are so "extremely specific", were you just asking for price quotes? Who did you ask?

I dealt with RP on this board and was happy with everything except the balancing which he did not do. Discount Tire did that. Great price and fitment.
 
Brett at SoundSolutions.
i am extremely pleased.
SndSoul is his prime handle here i think.

I give great deals on all brands as well, I am a NSX owner, enthusiast, and Do this for the love of the car, not to make money. Shoot me a PM
As a matter of fact, I have already PM and emailed you a couple of days ago. No response till this thread.
I have a local tire distributor(American Tire) that is going to send me some brochures at my work tomorrow and I'm going to check out what he has to offer.
 
I just found out that the "email" link coneccted to NSXPrime for me was NOT [email protected] So those who used the link on the site in the past, were missed. It has been fixed as of today. If you DID email me to [email protected] (which was ALWAYS the link on my site) then I will have to look back and see what the deal was....

Secondly, PM's are not answered as fast as emails....
