Only used them once. Worked out well. My local smallish chain tire shop didn't have what I needed. The guy pulled a Tire Rack catalog out from the behind counter and told me to take it home and said if I find what I wanted get it shipped to their store. They were a certified partner / installer. Would do again if needed. If it ain't woke... don't fix it. | |||

Have a 2010 Porsche 911 Carrera w/ 18" wheels. I use Michelin Pilot Super Sports and can get them locally at competitive prices but am having trouble getting aftermarket wheels that fit the sizes and offsets needed for my car. Tire rack has OZ wheels I really like and that work but I haven't found other brands that I like. Also can't find other local shops that carry OZ. That's why I'm looking at Tire rack. Any suggestions? And thanks to everyone for your responses!! ___________________________________________ The annual soothsayers and fortunetellers conference has been canceled due to unforeseen circumstances. | |||

Give Eric at Supreme Power in Fullerton a call https://www.supremepower.com/ Be sure to ask for Eric; he's the owner and is intimately familiar with Porsche requirements; I think he buying one of the new GT2 RS ! | |||

I have bought 2 sets of Mounted winter tires.. It is much cheaper than getting tires changed over. Both sets were great. The last time I bought a set of Michelin tires. .and a few weeks after i bought them they came out with a Rebate...I called Tire Rck and they gave me a $70 gift card fore tire rack to make up for it. _______________________________ 'The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but > because he loves what is behind him.'

do you have PCCB's? (carbon ceramic brakes?) that makes wheel selection a little more challenging. Im assuming you're looking at superlegerras? For the price you really can't beat them, especially for a wheel that has that kind of racing pedigree. Let me know exactly what you're looking for (wheel model and finish, and tire size) and I'll tell you what my price through TR wholesale is. ------------------------------------ 135 ├┼┼╕ 246R | |||

No carbon brakes. Looking at OZ Alleggerita HLTs, also considering Ultraleggaras, maybe Superlegarras. Will certainly consider other brands with a "similar look." 18X8, 57 offset, matte black fronts; 18X10, 60 offset, matte black rears (I understand offsets can be a bit different but I don't know by how much before issues would surface). Also want new high-end TPM sensors and Michelin Pilot Super Sports 235/40X18 fronts 265/40X18 rears. All mounted and balanced and ready to install. ___________________________________________ The annual soothsayers and fortunetellers conference has been canceled due to unforeseen circumstances. | |||

If you're buying wheels, TPMS, and tires, big savings. They will ship them to you mounted and balanced, saving the cost of having a shop do them. I did it and was very happy.

Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams “It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free." -Niccolo Machiavelli The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels.

Here is what I pay for that setup from Tire Rack.  I dont know why it's so small, my price was a tad over $2500 before shipping. $2513.96 ------------------------------------ 135 ├┼┼╕ 246R | |||

As a retail customer, my price shows $3047 delivered to Southern California. Are your prices as a retail customer or a dealer/shop? ___________________________________________ The annual soothsayers and fortunetellers conference has been canceled due to unforeseen circumstances. | |||

Tire Rack is great but Discount Tire Direct is beating them on prices from what Ive been looking at recently. ________________________________________________________________________________________________ | |||

I bought my OZ wheels with Michelin tires at Tire Rack. The tires arrived mounted, tire pressure sensors installed, balanced and pressurized to specs with front and back marked. I doubt any local dealer can beat Tire Rack's prices if you live in a state where you can avoid paying sales tax. (And California seems to be one of those states: https://www.tirerack.com/conte...ustomer_support.html) It seems that I did pay $210 in shipping for the mounted wheels, but that is still less than what the sales tax would have been on my $3,000 purchase at Tire Rack. And that shipping charge was from Indiana. Now that Tire Rack has a location in Nevada, the UPS shipping charge should(?) be less for both you and me.
Based upon quality of work and price, the availability of OZ wheels, and your location, Tire Rack.  | |||

that's my wholesale price. I'm pretty sure I could just drop ship them to you though ------------------------------------ 135 ├┼┼╕ 246R | |||
