Can anyone recommend a decent reputable online store other than Tirerack for ordering wheels and tires? Not so much worried about big name wheels, just want some 18's that look good, but won't break the bank.

I'm sure if you call or email them they will let you know what tires come with their package deals. But it is a safe bet the tires are not that great nor what you want.

When I was shopping for tires I first decided what wheels I wanted and then what tires I wanted. Next I searched each site for those specific wheels and tires and determined who had the best price after shipping, mounting, balancing, etc.

Don't just blindly shop around saying, oh those like nice, and settling on a wheel and tire combo because it is cheap. Determine exactly what you want and get it, even if it means you wait a few extra months to come up with the money.

Thx,

I actually already know what tires I want, been using Yoko's for 4 years, never had a problem with them. I guess for the price ($899) you can't go wrong. I would need to have the shipped unmounted though so I can get the TPMS sensor in there.

Does anyone know what happens if you put on new wheels/tires without the TPMS sensor? Can you turn off the warning light on the dash?

wheelsnext seems to be decent. I called them, and they can get any tire you want. The standard tires don't seem great, but they can get better ones for not a whole lot more. Also, they can sell new OEM TPMS sensors...but not sure how to program them to your car
