How to buy wheels from us:

1. To purchase your perfect set or single wheel for any brand name vehicle. You must know the make, model, and year of your vehicle.
2. Locate the size of your wheel. To find the size of the wheel of your car: pay close attention to stamped or cast on the sidewall of the tire. The number to the right of the R is the size of the wheel. For example, 205/75/R15. ’15’ is the size of the wheel. Locate the manufacturer part # in the back of the wheel. This is important if your vehicle has staggered wheels. For example, front and rear wheels will differ in size: Front Wheel: 19x8", Back Wheel: 19x9.5". *Give us a call if you need assistance for this step. (714) 239-1122
