Where to look for new Wheels
Can any of you guys give me some good websites for aftermarket wheels? I might be looking at getting new wheels for my 07, depending on what the OEM wheels look like in person. I have never purchased aftermarket wheels before so I am not really sure where to start looking.

LOL.. Let the fun begin
Here's an old thread with tons of links.... (likely a lot of stale one by now)
The manufacturer sites are a good place to see the models available & the specs.
& then there's our resident expert; Chico is da man when it come to wheel ?s
The fitment data may have changed a little for picking offsets.
Guess we won't know that untill they hit the street

I can't really comment first hand other than what is said in the wheel & tire forum.
I can say my PIAAs are very good quality, especially considering price.
PIAA doesn't have the biggest selection in the world though.
There's always the old standbys... Rays, Work etc, but there are many others with excellent reputaions.
A lot will depend on your objectives... & budget
They can get expensive in a hurry.

It all depends on what you're after. For the most part it's cheaper to buy from th U.S and pay the tax/shipping. That said, there are a couple Canadian vendors (like Big Wheelz) that will offer competitive pricing. I've already got the wheels for my coupe, got them from tirerack.com and with tax+shipping it was still over $1200 less than anywhere I found in Canada.

Thanks for the help guys. I just wanted to do some looking around and see what is out there and what looks good to me. I want to see what the stock 18" s look like in person before I do anything. From the pictures I have seen of them they are okay, but simply that, just okay. We'll see what they are like in person.
For this winter, I have my Blizzaks mounted on 16" steels.......I wonder if they will fit my new Sedan with the larger calipars?
