Default LF: Wheel and Tire Shop in Detroit/Windsor Area

Well I jus moved here recently and was wondering if anybody knew of a good Tire and Wheel shop in the Detroit/Windsor area?

Looking for 17" rims for my 1997 Acura 1.6EL (Honda Civic EX) not too sure what kind of tires yet. It does seem though thorugh looking threw ebay that in the states rims are much cheapeer than in canada. So preferably i would like to buy somehting in the states and bring them over. Any suggestions??

Thanks!

Just be careful in looking at prices. Anything you bring accross the bored will be taxed heavily. So take that into consideration, it should still come out cheaper but just make sure to include it in your budget.

If you need help in selecting tires just answer these 6 questions.

1) what is the make/model/year/package of car you have and are there any mods.
2) what is your budget
3) what size rims do you have (Width, diameter, offset)
4) what is the climate that these tires will see? If you live in a snowy area do you have dedicated winter tires
5) what is the purpose of this car? Drag strip? Auto-X? Getting groceries? Daily driver with weekend play?
6) what is your budget and what is more important long life or stickyness?
