Rims

[Jeff]

Anyone know a good website that has a bunch of different rims t o buy. I tried looking it up on yahoo but good luck i typed in car rims and 250,000 links came up. Yeah i have no life but that is alot of page to go through. Not sure what i want, i know i want crome. 18"s if they fit a t-bird but that is about it.

Actully there is a guy on the sccoa website that has the style of rims i want but i e-mail him to ask what kind they were but he will not answer back :o(

Here is the link

Some good sites are www.tirerack.com and www.discounttire.com

I would suggest going to a local rim/tire shop and see what they can offer you.

Jeff, if you are in Scarborough go to Wheels Direct @ McCowan/Sheppard. They have a program in which you can pick your car, lower, add tint and rims. Here is the link :

Those rims look like either a very high-dollar Gotti (now owned by Ronal) 3-pc. modular wheels, or maybe an older American Racing wheel that is no longer available, hard to tell with the fuzziness of the photos.

You can also try Andrew at Wheel & Tire Zone in Mississauga, Dixie & Eglinton area ... 905-624-1577. He may be able to fix you up with something. Be aware that your choices in 18" with T-Bird 5 on 4.25" bolt pattern are somewhat limited ... that why I changed mine to 5 on 4.5". :cool:

For those wishing to make the trip out here, there is a great dealer in tires and rims at TauntonRd and Townline just east of Oshawa. He is more than willing to deal and if he doesnt have it, will usually get it. Phone number is 905-579-0071___TAUNTON PERFORMANCE.

Hmmmm, I was looking at the american racing site and a lot of people seem to be going with the bullit style rim. I like the way it looks on the older cars.

Ahh shoot i wanted the R-1001 formerly Gotti G-1001

but he said he is all out of them. I asume he means he doesn't make them anyone? will have to e-mail him back.

That one doesn't look to be available in 5 on 4.25" (108 mm) anyway ... BTW, I remember those being something like $500 to $600 U.S. per wheel, since they are high-end 3-piece construction modular wheels.
