i'm looking for wheels for my corolla...

anyways, i've found some decent wheels online that look like they'll work out.


criteria i'm looking for are: 15" rim diameter, 6.5" or less rim width, 40mm or more offset, 4x100 bolt pattern.

i havent found a great deal, but i've found that konig offers a fair amount in what i want. but i havent found a decent US distributor. (i know discount tire company is the closest distributor, but i refuse to deal with them on account of the horrible service i've recieved from them in the past.)

i've found this website online that has a selection of the wheels i'm looking for. they claim they dropship from manufacturer.

http://www.1010tires.com/wheel...l=Helium&pc=HE65D0440S <-- one of the wheels i'm looking at.

but it seems that 1010tires has absolutely no reputation anywhere... like resellerratings and whatnot. so i'm not sure what to do with them.

it's not as though the deal's too good to be true. their prices are right near MSRP.

if i dont deal with these people, does anyone know of a wheel distributor website that has an established reputation?

Make them pinky-swear. Foolproof! :D

Anyway, check with the better business bureau and see what they say...

well, found an online distributor that was an authorized distributor for konig. however, the wheels were $11 cheaper per wheel thru discount. whatever... i'll just buy the wheels from discount, and get em fitted elsewhere.
