Default Best Wheel/Tire/Shipping deals

Just wondering if any of you guys know a good place to buy rims.... I checked out www.americanmuscle.com and they seem to have amazing deals on both tires and rims, but I wanted to ask you guys about quality. Im looking for chrome bullits but I want to make sure im getting my moneys worth... I can buy some from ford racing www.gefracing.com but they cost a couple hundred bucks more plus shipping fees... what do you guys think?

Thanks

Really? So I wont have any problems with there rims? They fit 100%? How about tires? I was told to go 8 inch al laround but when I was on the phone with them they said to go 9inch in the rear 8inch in the front... I dont see the point? Whats a nice size tire for an 8inch wide rim? 245? will it hook decent? or should I go bigger?

Yeah you can just use stock GT tire size like you said 245's on 8" rims. Hooking all depends on the tires you get. You can fit a little larger size on the rear just make sure you have the right diameter so you don't change the calibration on the speedometer. If your doing this just to have a new look and not for performance stay with the same size so when and if you decide to rotate them you can with no issues. Alot of people have different idea's on what the best tires are.. Some will say Nitto's, BF Goodrich, or Goodyear. I have the Nitto's and I have a harder time loosing traction then I did with the BF Goodrich, I could alway spin with no problem.. In my opinion go with Nitto's.
