Default Ever Bought Wheels Online?

Hey ya'll, Im looking for a set of wheels for the wifes truck.. actually a wheel tire package, but Ive heard horror stories about buying wheels online and 3 of them being right and 1 having the wrong bolt pattern or HUGE blemishes and the folks you bought from not making it right.. Anyone here ever had any bad or good expierences? I want to buy the package this week so if you got any heads up on this subject, please let me know.

Thanks!

I've bought a few combination sets from this company over the years and never had any problems with them at all. Prices were always better then local. http://www.tyres1.com/

Forgot to mention the fact that the sets I bought from this company show up at your front door ready to install on your truck. Mounted, balanced and already aired up and ready to roll.

I had a long wait on my wheels from an ebay store, won't go that route again.



My experience with the nittos, they did not wear well and made the truck feel like it was ridding on oil, real soft heck I don't know how to explain it, its after one in the morning and I still have a long night ahead.

Sorry, I don't believe there were any DB vendor selling mounted tires when I bought mine from Discount Tire online.

They came mounted, balanced and aired up.
Arrived strapped to a pallet. It was a very smooth transaction.
