Well, In Edmonton, there is a fella who is having issues with them for his Rims & tires. I spoke to him this morning but his rims has not come in yet since April but they finally have the tires for him . He owns a silver 00rs coupe..I have asked them to arrange a package for my car but NEVER CALLED back after 2 attempts with him. May be just in Edmonton.. Just my 2 cs..

Peace out,
Mykael

I've been dealing with Kal Tire for years. They have many stores out here in E-Town.

I've ordered a set of OZ Superleggeras through them and they told me right up front that I would have a 6-8 week wait due to backorder situation. Its been 4 weeks now, but I'm in no hurry since they were $30/rim cheaper than anywhere else in Edmonton.

My 2cents.

Hey Markus, what kind of pricing did you get from them for the Superleggeras? Thanks Ken

markus · 07-26-2001, 02:04 AM

Pricing was reasonable, when you consider that it includes install, balance, stems, taxes, etc. etc. etc.

I paid about $440/rim complete. Which when you consider cost of getting them shipped from US and/or anywhere else outside of E-town, it was a fair deal. Everyone else in town was asking almost $30+/rim more.

Expensive rim, but I didn't want some 22lb porkers on my car. These puppies weight 15.7lbs for a set of 17"x7" rims.

Here in calgary, kal tire is a major sponsor of the calgary sports car clubs activites, and they are really great about getting what you want in a timely manner. Had nothing but good experiences with them so far.

Markus, I was thinking of the same rims for my car. Good thing I didn't order. I will wait for my SSR's. Are you keeping the OEM's? I thought you just got new tires? Oh, never mind. Nice winter boots.
