Wheelsnext is cheap but you need to call them before ordering, as Ive heard they tag on money for valvestems and other handling fees so the price isnt always what it seems. Also they use Nankang tires in their packages, which is this very very cheap tire brand that is extremely noisy. You get what you paid for, you can always request a package with Toyos or Nittos or whatever brand but the price jumps from the online price. Ive ordered from tirerack before, their prices and choices arent as good, but you know that their brands of wheels are from reputable companies and you get to choose your own brand of tires. A lot of the cheap wheels are coming out of China, in China, you can get a set of 20s for like $150-200. Problem is most of these wheels dont go through any sort of testing and they crack and bend very easily. Ive bent a 18" wheel going over a very small pot hole that a good brand wheel would've been fine. The way they do it is that they figure say 1 in every 8 wheels may crack or bend, but since the profit margin is so high, like 100-200% per wheel, that its worth the risk of sometimes refunding or exchanging a wheel for a customer. Of course there are cheap but good brands like Sportmax and Stern wheels, which Ive tested in 19s and 20s to withstand quite a bit of beating.
