Found this website while searching rims for my g35. Here's the craigslist add:

http://toronto.en.craigslist.ca/tor/pts/1021816562.html

After comparing prices with other ads/websites they seem to have dirt cheap prices. Do you guys think its some kind of scam or maybe cheap quality rims? Or are they a legit company?

If anyones heard or dealt with them please comment I'd love to hear about them before I make the trip to see them.

The key words are "priced from". Yes, there are rims for $100 but, they will probably not be the ones you want or like and the price goes up, way up, from there.

i bought my winter tires from them.

it seems like a legit business to me.

Honestly, I wouldn't go cheap on wheel in Toronto...

Look at the pot hole size! trust me you don't wanna cheap out and bend your rims everytime you run over the potholes.

Now the question is, do you want to bend expensive rims or cheap rims? I still can't answer this question for myself.

I have had expensive rims bend as much as cheap ones.

i know that place. its about 5mins from where i live. matter of fact, i ws there last week.
it is a legit business for sure and they do have nice prices. But the thing is, do they have nice prices on the rims u want?
they have cheap prices on mediocre rims and such but the expensive rims are still what they are; expensive.
they have nice deals though and are nice people....
But again, like someone already mentioned, be careful of what kind of rims u buy cos the potholes in toronto are no joke and the streets are not exactly butter-smooth.

I bought summer tires from them last year, good people, good prices, but again that was tires. There are a lot of very bling but SOFT rims out there, one big pothole and the rim is toast! I think they would have good pricing however on anything that you may be looking for.

I know this thread is old but I just wanted to share my experience at this place so that the rest of you don't make the same mistake.

I bought 2 front tires for my car, they put unidirectional tires on the wrong way the first time and then screwed up again the second time cause the tire wasn't seated properly on the rim. Later after looking at the tire I realized that they sold me a "off-road use only, not for export outside china" tire for a discounted price, no wonder it was so cheap. It just seems like a really sketchy operation that they are running. I wouldn't cheap out on wheels and tires especially from a place like this. Just remember that the tires are the only thing in contact between your car and the road, not something you really wanna save money on.

Thats all.

I can't see this being all their fault. You probably went in asking for the cheapest tire replacements possible, and that's exactly what they gave you. When you ask for cheapo tires, they should probably tell you what they are anyway. So if you're getting 2 ChingChung Wanglong tires from China, or getting 2 "brand name" tires, you're going to know. You should probably take your own advices as well, not to cheap out on tires.

Last year i brought a set of winter tires + a set of 16' alloy rims from them, i think i pay like $396+tax for just for those alloys. They are great looking set of 5 spoke for that price, quality is quite good, probably made in china, but who cares, for winter rims they are perfect.

But i wouldn't use them for summer rims, i prefer something lighter and with brand name.

I'm pretty sure that them selling tires that aren't even supposed to be imported into Canada IS in fact their fault. I was told that they were mid scale "Cooper" brand tires which are definitely not the cheapest. And that doesn't justify them being mounted improperly twice in a row. And by not cheaping out on tires, I meant take them to a reputable tire place. It's obvious from their cheap prices that they are cutting corners somewhere, whether it's on labor or importation I don't know. All I know is that I wouldn't go there again and I ask buyers to beware and be VERY skeptical.
