Good place to buy wheels?

How come tirerack wont let me buy the wheels I want? I see a nice wheel and it tells me to enter my car, which I do, then it gives me a bunch of wheels I don't want.

Example: I want this one ASA JH8 but it wont let me? what the heck. Is it telling me they don't got the right offsets? I have seen other people on this forum with these rims tho..

You can call and ask them what sizing they have available for that wheel to determine whether they have the fitment you want.

That particular wheel is on closeout for the remaining wheels meaning it's probably discontinued.

I doubt they have anything left in that wheel for the deuce. s14 5-lug, 300z, and 350z generally have some overlap with mkii fitment and it's not listed for either car (besides a 19 for the Z).

The rack is actually showing good fitment for a couple wheels ..... 57f and ultraleggera (but only in certain colors that they have stock for in front and rear fitment). Most of their suggestions are same size front and rear which is ridiculous.

I have those exact rims on my MR2... I'm not sure of the offset, but they are a 17X7.5...

BTW, I'm currently running 215-40/17's on a lowered/stiffened MR2... exact amount lowered, i dunno...

But i'm going to run 245/40/17's on the rear, 215/40/17's on the front.

I'll get the offset checked when i head to the tire shop early next week to get my new wheels mounted...
