I was thinking about starting a list of places where that have a good selection of rims and tires. These are places that I\'ve visited and my impressions about the shop
Extreme Wheel and Tire (Richmond Hill)
Great service and price, knowledgeable staff. Excellent selection, they can pretty much get any rim/tire that you want. The exclusive distributor of ROH rims in Canada, if not Toronto. Worth the trek up. BTW, this is where I bought my summer rims and tires.
Wheel & Tire Zone (Mississauga & Scarborough)
Great selection and competitive prices, knowledgeable staff. Sales can be a bit \"pushy\" in the Scarborough location but not overtly so. I used to go to the Mississauga location exclusively but after finding out about Extreme Wheel & Tire I won\'t bother anymore. The Mississauga location is where Tuner Transformation is shot.
Wheels Direct (Scarborough)
This place is a mess the two times I visited. Don\'t let that fool you though, if you want high performance or lighweight \"semi exotic\" rims, go here. The staff know their stuff, but if you just want to \"window shop\", they have a huge selection of rims on display. The only downside is that if you pay by anything other than cash or debit, add 3%.
Automotive Import Market (Markham)
So-so selection of rims, not the top brands. Tire selection is good as well.
Tiremag (Concord)
So-so selection of rims, not the top brands. Tire selections is good as well. Ever since the new owners took over, something just hasn\'t been the same. Too bad, this place is just around the corner from my house. The previous owners/sales people are now at the first two stores listed.
Wheelworks (Mississauga)
Only been here once, from what I remember if you didn\'t know what you were looking for you\'d miss the store, it\'s in the middle of an industrial park. Good selection, but not the top name brands.
Speedstar (Scarborough)
I believe that\'s the name of the store, it\'s on Sheppard and Markham. If you want expensive, lightweight exotic JDM rims (HRE, Racing Hart, etc) go here. In terms of rims, that\'s all they sell, the good stuff! Just make sure you have deep pockets.
