Icon2 What is the best site to order rims??

I am thinking about getting new 15 or 16 inch rims for my EG. Rather than going with cheap Pepboys rims, what other sites have good rims?

Ebay. Believe it or not.
The Marketplace has a few sponsors as well.

no need to buy new rims. you can find great used rims here on HT and eBay. Buying new rims is like buying a new car, they're real nice in the beginning, but when it's time to trade or sell them, you'll lose a lot of value.

I agree, if you look carefully (feedback, item description etc) you can find good wheel deals on eBay.

Also... nothing beats a nice set of VX/HX/FatFives/Blades/etc off of Craigslist and getting them a clean layer of powdercoat (if they need it - they usually do).

I've never bought from this site, but it's been around for 7-8 years at least and I used to hear really good things about them:

Good luck,

are you going to keep your stock rims? If not I may be interested. I am looking at purchasing a 2000 si this coming week and it has integra swirles on it which i do not want and will be looking for a different pair.

i bought my 17" motegi Ff7 off wheelsnext.com
They were on there rims, tires, mounted, balanced, lugnuts, for $720 - you can choose from a selection of tires for the rims during checkout. range from prices.
i live in canada so with duty came to $960. shipping is free.

good prices, depending on what type of rim you buy.

I would agree to search for some good used rims. The other advice on here is good as well.

JLB R.I.P.

Your best bet is to cruise craigslist. Just go to searchtempest.com It allows you to check within a certain mile radius of you rather than each individual city.

I was thinking about SI rims, since my civic is almost an SI, minus the hatch and manual trans lol.
