wheel/tire vendors in Canada
Any suggestions? I'd prefer not to buy from the States because of the shipping and duties.

Thanks for the info. I'm checking out Tiretrends now.
Just out of curiosity, how much would the duties/tariffs be for wheels from the States? |

tiretrends sells them for $200.00 bucks each tirerack had them on special for $100.00 each (however they aren't that cheap anymore) So even with shipping and duty (which is about $100.00cdn), it was waay cheaper from tirerack.com Just keep your eyes open for good deals, they are there to be had. |
