Default AmericasWheel.com

Has anyone bought anything from americaswheel.com I have been searching the internet for a good deal on tire and wheel packages and they seem to have really good prices. The only place I can find reviews on them is on facebook which they get very high reviews there.

Any real world experience with them would be great.

Thanks,
Dale

I don't know about them. I have bought a wheel/tire combo set from wheelsforless.com and found them to be the best price I could find. They arrived about 1 week after I ordered them. In individual boxes, mounted and balanced. Exactly as described. I was very happy with them.
Good Luck,
Tony

I will check them out, thanks. How was the balance, did they do a good job or did you have to have them re-balanced?

My number one problem! Bad balancing, seems epidemic.

They balanced them with stick on weights on the inner rim so it was out of sight. I got them late in the year (here in Indianapolis). Made 1 run over to Dayton, Ohio on I-75. Ran 70-75 MPH and it was a good ride without any noticeable vibration.

That would be my concern. It is not like you can take them back and make them balance them again so you are stuck taking them to your local store and having to pay to get them re-balanced. My other concern is if there is something wrong with a tire what you would have to go thru to get it replaced.

That is good to know, thanks. I haven't had a chance yet to check out the site you sent me.
