Default Looking at getting new wheels with tires

I was looking at getting a set of 18" wheels from tirerack, I noticed they had a relatively cheap wheel by Kazera.

In particular the KZ-S or the KZ-V

Does anybody have any experiences with this brand or have any recommendations on another brand thats pretty low cost?

These are just going to be used for a summer tire.

I've heard good things about the tirerack. As for Kazera rims. That's what's offered at the Scion dealership near me. They used to have PIAA and TRD rims but now just the kazera ones. They want $2100 for 18's with 35 series tires. I think that they get them from the tire rack. I checked out the rims there and was considering getting them from the rack but I ordered from Discount tire instead. The rims were really nice looking and good quality. They look much better in person. If you do order them it's like getting a $1000 off the price.
The dealer's screw ya so bad.

Ouch!! I feel sorry for those people that actually buy them from the dealer, thats like a 110% Mark-up in price.

I am definately going to get them from Tirerack, I have already used them twice and they have been great.

Thanks!

I appreciate the input.

Great rims for the price. I got 17" chrome Kazera's with Yohohama Avid H4S tires from The Tire Rack. Here's a pic:

Beautiful rims, light weight...even for chrome. Perfectly balanced too!!! You can't go wrong here. Give Roger @ The Tire Rack a call, you won't be sorry. His number is 877 522 8473 Ext. 627.

FYI, the Kazera wheels are great and a real value for your money! They are built in one of the most modern, up-to-date factories in the world. Most models are certified by SAE, JWL, and VIA, are constructed of AC4CH-T6 Aluminum alloy, are low pressure cast, shot peened, and heat treated to T6. In addition, all wheels are X-ray & leak tested before they leave the factory and are covered by a 4 year structural warranty. All painted wheels are clear coated for extra protection and both painted and chrome plated wheels carry a one year finish warranty. For more information, please feel free to give me a call or visit our site at: http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=DJ1&...eels/index.jsp. If you decide to order "On-line", please feel free to enter my name in the "Previous Contacts" area towards the end of the order process and I will be glad to keep an eye on your order!
