Default Two Questions

1. Where is the best place to buy wheels and tires? I am looking for 17's with tires. I've seen everybody talk about tirerack.com and discounttires.com. Are there any others?

2. For those of you who had aftermarket sunroofs/moonroofs put in, how much did it cost? (Manual or motorized).

By the way I have an xA (Hence the xA forum)

www.DiscountTireDirect.com has free shipping on their tires/wheels right now. I've ordered 2 sets of tires from them and they haven't let me down! Also, www.edgeracing.com has some pretty good deals.

I have a dumb question... Can you put on the new wheels+tires yourself, or do they need to be installed by a professional? Could I have my brother do it so I don't have to pay anyone? 'Cause I'm pretty stingy with money at the moment.

If the wheel/tire package comes fully mounted and balanced, then yes, you can just bolt them on.

Edge Racing has some pretty good deals. I want some clean silver wheels, 5 6 or 8 spoke. But I keep hitting over the $1000 mark. What did you all get for under $700?

Also any info on the sunroof/moonroof?

How do you think something like this would look on a 2006 silver xA?

Just be sure not to overtighten the lug nuts. This can lead to your rotors warping.

I also know a place that always have good deals on tire and rim combos, they also have free shipping. They also include the lug nuts. I'll post it when I got home, since i'm at work and do not have my links. I bought a set of Enkei rims there, they had great service.

www.ebay.com. I've bought 2 sets of wheels and sold 1 on Ebay. You have to be careful who you buy from and read the entire ad carefully. I bought a set of 4 for my xA that came from an xB (Enkei oems) for $150 plus $60 for shipping. That was a great deal and the wheels are awesome!
