why we do not carry every wheel available... (archive)

At the Tirerack we take great pride in the fact that we can stand behind the products that we sell. There may sometimes be a case where a manufaturer may have a wheel that we feel is not up to the quality level that we wish to provide to our customers. It would be counterproductive to our mission to sell our customers a product that can not personally stand behind, thus we may have a line of wheels where there is a certain wheel that we will omit from carrying.

The second factor at play is fittments. Often wheels will require major modifacations to fit correctly, and most American customers do not wish to do so. In Europe, people are much more open to fender, body, and camber modifacations. Plus as a mail order company it would not make sense to sell a wheel that a customer needs assistance to use when we can not pysically be there to help. BBS is a good example of this. They offer many fittments to the European market that would require hundreds of dollars in mods to get them to fit correctly. We feel that our customers are best served by a direct bolt on fittment that is easy and safe to use. You can rest assured that if we carry a brand, but not a certain wheel, there is a thought out reason behind it. If you have any further questions, as always feel free to reach me direct @ 800.428.8355 x395, thanks
