Anyone know of a good tire and rim shop?

When it comes down to it, I'm looking for 17x8 rims with some serious performance tires that can handle a lowered and boosted white SI.


Anyone have some suggestions on rims and tires? I think it would look good if i went with a darker rim with tires that have white lettering. OR Sticking with the a brushed silver rim.

Element Wheels is a good local vendor. Or try Ravspeconline if you want something a little more rare.

Tire wise just get a set of summer tires since we're in Arizona. If you plan on racing, get a separate set of slicks or drag radials for when you wanna race.

A proper alignment will ensure best tire life too

ICE Performance (don't mind the name) is on 76th st and Paradise and I would trust them with mounting any tires and they can order you in stuff. I'd recommend going with pilot sport 2s, hankook rs3s or dunlop star specs

I did find Element Wheels as a top Google Search for this area, Do you know how well they do on mounting tires, really prefer a shop that if they damage the rim they will fix it, ya know? Don't want any shady places esspcially since i'll be spend a pretty penny on this.

I really like the concaved look of rims, i think it would look pretty good on my car. Also kind of thinking (might be cheesey) but if i go with a darker rim I would like to maybe have tires that have some white lettering on them.
