Has anyone ordered wheels and/or tires from Lakeshore Wheel & Tire? The tire prices may be a bit higher than Tire Rack, but their wheel selection is great. I'd like to see your comments before I decide whether to order from here. Here's the link: http://www.lakeshorewheelandtire.com/index.html
 
I sold them 2 OEM rims a few years ago. They listed them on eBay for over 10 months before they either sold them or ...? Anyway, the money they gave me was lower than what I wanted but I was thankful for them taking the aggravation factor away from me. FWIW, they are good in my book.
 
Has anyone clicked the link and checked out the rims and prices? Please let me know if these are good deals compared to the prices you paid for your rims. Thank you.
 
Here's my two cents worth. I paid $298.75 each (plus shipping and ins.) for my 17" style 71's from BMW Cleveland on Ebay, Lakeshore wants $350.00 each for the same wheel. Given that they normally retail for $500.00 each, either price isn't all that bad.
 
Are you planning on getting tires from them or remounting your RFT's?

You also may want to consider this place : http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/home.do

btw, TireRack is highly recommended: they have excellent products and service and a great reputation.

Good luck.

I'm planning on getting new tires mounted on the rims. I have not decided on a rim or tire yet, but one thing is for sure...I'm ditching the RFTs! Also, I'm still torn between 18" or 19" rims. I've heard great things about Tire Rack, but none of the rims on Tire Rack wow me. I'm beginning to like the CSL replicas and the 108 OEMs, and I don't see either of them on Tire Rack. Basically at this point, I drool at all the forum members' rims and can't decide which ones I want.
