Driven Authority in Sac?

Anyone know about them? Gonna be ordering a set of wheels through them on Saturday. My uncle has never heard of them (30year ASE cert. mechanic, worked at Big O for the longest time and then at All Transmission in Sac), so I'm just wondering if they're good guys? A set of staggered Miro 111 19x8.5/9.5 +20 all around for $850 on clearance.

I've got tires for both of my cars from Kip @ Driven and he has always been good to me. Hope that helps.

Make sure you check your lug nuts if they put the wheels on for you.

To very few they are. They have the be the right rim with the right concave with the right offset to pull it off. Dont let us down. Do it right.

The offsets are +20 all around, which I will have to trade my 25mm sspacer for some 15s or 20s. What is the best offset to sit flush, without having to roll fenders? And TBH, I loved lipped wheels. I loved my Axis Shines. But how the wind and dirt is out here in the desert, it was not going well, so I'm gonna switch it up. These wheels are more concave than almost anything you can get at a comparable price. Probably gonna buy some Nitto NeoGens from a member here, which are made for lowered cars. If I go any lower than I am (lowered on DF210s), I'm gonna need coilovers, and I don't have the money for that anytime in the next 4 or 5 months. We'll see how it comes out after I switch out the spacers and actually get these wheels mounted, then we'll go from there.

Driven Authority were cool guys despite forgetting I even ordered the wheels and didn't place my order until Tuesday, lol. And Miro are really cool folks. They shipped them straight to me to save DA and myself some money in the process. I reeeeaaaaaalllllly like the wheels. Just waiting on rubber now =)

They're great guys. I've known them for years. Granted I'm in Sacto, but I've watched the place start up and even move and grow. I trust them with my stuff as well my girl trusts them with her car. Good work & great people.

They did the damn thing for me, and Miro got me the wheels in 3 days. Was pretty surprised.
