Rims websites

[joshb003]

So I've read on here that goodwinracing is the best deal for rims, is that a pretty general consensus? I got my tax return, and I'm going to buy some Rims tonight, just wanted to make sure their the ones to go with. Additionally, I plan on getting 15x7 +40 mm offset, because that's what I've read is pretty common with the M2.

Does anyone have any suggestions?e

Also, is it necessary to take the Rims off in the winter? Or do some people just use their Rims year round?

goodwinracing has a lot of good deals on light racing rims (but you dont have to race them) so yes that place is as good as any if not the best (you could hit up tirerack too but goodwin has specific 2 wheels they have tested)

Salt destroys rims, so if youre buying a nice set it makes sense just to throw your old stock rims on in the winter (and buy a set of snow tires while youre at it) especially based on where youd live...will make a world of difference to you.

what kind of wheels are you looking for?

Thanks for the suggestions and I think I will do the whole snow tire thing.

The only crappy thing is paying like 100$ for the rims to be shipped! On tire rack shipping was like 120$, I think I'd be better off purchasing local to save that.

Additionally the whole TPMS thing sucks you either have to buy a new set, or pay for the old ones to be mounted @ like 8$ a pop. I'd like to just not use TPMS at all haha..

discounttiredirect.com Free shipping and normally have additional savings if you buy a set of wheels or tires or both.

Edit: Anyone know if you have to reprogram Mazda TPMS if you have 2 sets of wheels (winter/summer) and have a set of TPMS sensors in each set, if you have to go to the dealer to reprogram at each wheel swap or if you just throw the next set of wheels on and go? I know how it works on Hondas and BMWs but not for any other manufacturer.

To reprogram:
Install new wheels with new TPMS sensors;
Drive on highway for 10 minutes and done;
TPMS sensor are available new on Fleabay for around 100 bucks a set;

Done!
