Talking Best place for rims?

Where is a good local place to shop for rims and possibly buy? Id like to "see" what is new as Id be shopping for looks and reasonable weight,...Wont be autoXing or dragging a Legacy GT.

Ive bought from Tire Rack as well before, but Id like to look at what kind of rims are out there now. Id be looking for 18" rims for a Legacy. I know that Hypersports and WMR have, but they are probably more expensive compared to other places,..

Howz that place at the old Costco parking lot? Would like name brand and not "bling bling" rims that are like 25lbs and chromed,..lol,..

Check Eurosport, MunkyWurks, and Vakamon.

Is there a particular brand of rim you are looking for?

I say Eurosport.

They have lots of rims...mostly because they can get anything that Tire Rack has.

They have nice sales staff.

They have great customer service.

A good quality chrome rim would be the new Blitz rims. Probably very expensive though.

Eurosport has to order in Volks, not too many places here will have Volks wheels in stock. The places that I know of that bring them in are, Eurosport, Hypersports and I do believe Munkywurks.
