I was browsing some wheel and tire packages on wheelmax.com and i have to say they have some nice packages for a good price. I was thinking about possibly purchasing some, but my dad keeps mentioning the "you get what you pay for" line to me, which makes me second guess myself. Has anyone here purchased from wheelmax.com, because i want to know your feedback and even if you haven't what do you guys think. Would you buy from there?

I purchased from Wheelmax and while I am happy with the rims and the delivery time, they screwed up a few things. They sent the wrong size tires which will screw up my odomter readings and they sent the wrong type of lugnuts. The nuts were regular hex nuts and when I called about it the gal told me they were the proper ones and I needed a socket with really thin walls, yeh right in a small coastal town, no way.

So I go to my Schwab store and get some button topped tuner lugs ($37)( I find out these are tuner style wheels.) Well I get the wheels on but low and behold the center caps won't go on (the lugs to long.) So off to a machine shop I go and $80 bucks later the wheels are on and the center caps are on.

I called again and pitched a [censored] and the gal said she had to talk sup. about it and would call me back. Well folks I'm a Disabled Vet. and am home most all the time and I hain't got a call yet. So tomorrow I'm dropping a full load on them (bay doors open, bombs away.)

i purchased a wheel/tire combo. Delivery time and customer service seemed great to me. Wheels and tires looked awsome but I think they are not balanced correctly...Mr. Tire put clamp marks in them though 4 days after i bought them and I have been fighting them since july. I just want my damn money back.


off rant...honestly im not sure whether or not id buy from wheelmax again

Wow, and to think I was close to sending these people some of my hard earned money. Glad I didn't.
