TomWeight Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Just wondering where everyone gets their wheels and tires from? Seems to be a new site every week that offers different deals but never too sure about these places. Also do people prefer going online or going local?

Dnk Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 (edited) For tyres i use a local garage who usually gets pretty close to most internet prices and does a proper job fitting them. Wheels really depends on budget and what your after, you can spend anything from £400 to £4000 + Edited October 24, 2016 by Dnk (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burna Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 For tyres use Camskill, they are now cheaper than TyreLeader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 For road tyres I'd always go to my local depot. I've asked before about road-legal track tyres there, but it isn't something they do, so I usually head to Camskill for those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike2JZ Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I usually get my tyres from Tyreleader, depending on time of year, available deals, stock levels etc you can get some really nice deals. I had a crappy customer experience with them once, luckily all other times I got my tyres within 2 days of order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I got my new wheels from JDM Distro and tyres from Camskill & Ebay this time as cheaper that Tyre Leader for the ones I wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 As above, JDM Distro if you're looking quality/branded used Japanese wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 If you buy online check out what your local tyre fitters want to fit them, some near me weren't interested and others wanted £20 per tyre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 As above, JDM Distro if you're looking quality/branded used Japanese wheels JDM Distro also do new wheels. They're a distributor for Japan Racing, that's the wheels I went with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWeight Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 JDM Distro also do new wheels. They're a distributor for Japan Racing, that's the wheels I went with. What sizes did you go for in the end? I've been looking at the jr-5s but unsure as to what fitment to go for without having a reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 19x9.5J and 19x11J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackyBoi Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Wheels are available pretty much everywhere haha, but to name one good website I'd say driftworks (they do Work wheels at a good price.) As for tyres I usually use Blackcircles, but I've heard of people buying them from Asda or suchlike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jot_ie Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Driftworks here too. They sell a lot of good quality Work wheels, a lot of them available in custom offsets. Camskill for tyres, but you will need someone to mount the tyres on the wheels. Most places won't unless you purchase the tyres from them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I talked to Driftworks about my wheels and offsets, their solution was stretched tyres and camber, so I went to JDM Distro. Plus the wheels I chose has custom options that JDM Distro's site lets you select so you see a price. Driftworks didn't list teh custom options, you had to email them and they came out at a lot more.
