Default Wheels

Looking at some wheels... Has anyone bought anything from TireRack? Good/ bad experiance? And I haven't heard much about either of these wheels, Ultra Wheel (sounds cheap when the put "ultra" or "super" in a name) and Dale Earnhardt Jr Wheels. I like the Black/ Chrome look... and I like the Jr's over the Ultra's in apperance, but like Ultras price. Any other suggestions/ input? I am not looking to spend a ton of money (like most people) but want a decent set that won't be all corroded and looking like crap in a month. Looking at 18's but wouldn't mind 20's... going to do a level and keep it around 33's. Thanks for the help.

Tirerack is a good place with good prices. Discount Tire Direct is another good place. I find cheaper prices at Discount, but more of a selection at Tirerack. Tirerack had great info and survey charts to compare against. One thing you can count on is tha your going to get your order from them in a reasonable amount of time.

I did chat with a rep from tirerack and they seem to wanna please their customers.

I got a buddy that put some ULTRAS on his JEEP. I can't remember the name of the style but they had the chrome looking lip on a black wheel. Looked to be a real low maintenance wheel.Looks good to.

I have bought from tire rack before and it was a good experience. Reasonable prices, pretty fast shipping, no complaints on my end.

I do like those DC-1's... I don't know if that one is new to the site, since I have not seen it on there, but I like it! What should I avoid in finish/ material of the wheels?

I bought my first set of tires from tirerack years ago and had such a great experience I go back there everytime i need new tires and recommend them to everyone i know. The prices are nearly unbeatable, shipping is 1-2 days anywhere in the country, and customer service is top notch.
