Recommendation for a reputable/cheap rims n tyre store

Postby tuanZo » Wed Feb 22, 2012 9:21 am

Just wanted to ask the community if anyone knows a good rim and Tyres store in Melbourne. When I say good, I mean like good range of rims, good service(installation), things like that...
Oh and I'm hoping I'll get a new set of rims tomorrow ;)

I dealt with donnellan's the other week and they had very good prices on their tyres, though I can't comment on their wheel prices. Other than that I'd recommend staying clear of the tyre factory, I've had nothing but bad customer service experiences with them multiple times

Not sure about who would be a good place to go to - the one time i dealt with beaurepairs in Greensborough they were crap. Aligned my wheels really badly and my car kept drifting left.

But i have to say those rims look awesome! Black rims on a white car stand out really nicely :)

I personalyl prefer oens where the spokes go right up to the lip - makes it look bigger when its not ;)

3 places come to mind:

Donnellans in Box Hill, Jax Quickfits Preston and Mag Wheels and Tyre in Preston. I have dealt with all of them, and have never had any troubles with them. Have even gotten to know each one of the managers personally :) Give them all a shot.
