Where To Buy Ne Rims In Toronto?
#1
I think I may need new rubber soon. Where is a good place to buy quality rims and rubber? And what would you suggest in the 17" size for a Black 2005 ZX5 and what rubber.

Thanks,

Shawn Bailey

There have been a number of good "what rubber" threads in the past few weeks - you should check them out ...

I have 215-45-17 on my OEM Ford rims which IIRC is the stock SVT size ... and even if you lower the car you should have no issues with rubbing

I really like my Falken ZE 512s - nice combination of decent handling and reasonable quiet and ride comfort - seem to be wearing okay too ... bought them at Bramalea Tire on airport road at 407 - about 125 each installed and balanced and disposal fee included - not bad although I think you can do better.

And in terms of rims ... with the buck the way it is, the US may very well be your best bet.

I agree with ZTW, Falken 512's. Unless you've got tons of money, they are a good tire for the money. I bought mine from a tire and rim shop in Pickering. I paid $87.00 per tire, but I've got 15" rims. Pm me if you need the name of the place in Pickering.
