I bet you're wondering: "Why the hell is Hashiriya posting this? He doesn't work for tire rack....."

Well, I'm posting it because I'm a bit of a Weds fanatic, and I noticed today that they're now carrying several Weds products (only official US distributor I've ever heard of).

The SA90 is one of my favorite wheels of all time. I don't see the cast version up just yet, but they have the pricier (yet still a bit of a bargain) forged SA90, along with a couple of other Weds products.

I do have one question for Tire Rack however: Why don't you just list every size/offset your wheels are available in? I'm interested in the SSR Professor SP1 wheels you sell, but the site doesn't list them as available for my car when I know damned well that they are made in sizes/offsets that will fit. It won't even tell me the price unless it comes up on the little "try them on" window. Why can't we just get a list?

I have the same complaint. It makes it pretty much impossible to locate a specific size

they might not list the offsets and whatnot untill they actually have the wheels in stock. I was checking out the weds TC-005 (HOT) and the extimated availability says May of this year.

oh teh hotness!

I love those...the JIC S15 had them, so hot. They look better in large diameters though...18+

I thought I was the only one that noticed the Weds...If they have some good sizes, I might just consider Tire Rack.

I've ordered from them 4 or 5 times for various brake/tire/wheels and never had any problems. Plus if everything is in stock, it ships in a day or 2. Not a MONTH later like some other places i've ordered from. Grant over there knows his stuff and will answer all your questions. Come this may, I might have to put some winter tires on the K-1s and order some weds or gram lights

ditto, love tirerack's service, but I do agree they need to do better w/ the wheel system, like listing offsets, my friends w/ 5 lug 240 friends actually look under the 300ZX wheels for possible wheels.

They have fantastic prices, but I can never get them to answer any questions.

I think I've emailed them 3 or 4 times about various things, and they've never gotten back to me once.

They have a ton of products that interest me, many things you can't get elsewhere (a la Advan Neovas), but it's just so hard to get them to tell you anything.

And yes, THOSE cast Weds. They shouldn't be much more than $200/rim, and they look fantabulous, and they come in great offsets.

I've always sent my emails to [email protected] and had a response within a day or two at most. try emailing him. He used to hang around this forum a lot, but maybe he got sick of all the "will these wheels clear z32 brakes?" or "whats the perfect offset for my car?" or... well you get the idea.

I don't know if Grant is still with the company, but he's not our Tirerack rep anymore. I believe we're getting a new guy, who I'm sure would be happy to help you out. Anyway, I agree with Bronze...call or email the rep here at NICO instead of just talking to a random sales associate at Tirerack.

I don't see the SA70. That's a huge disapointment.
