Wheels
We sell wheels of all styles and sizes and mount them on your car. Tell us what you drive, and we check that a wheel fits before you buy it. The quickest way to start is to text us a photo of the car.
How to ask about wheels
Send a photo
A photo of the car from the side shows us what you have now.
Tell us the car
Year, make, model and trim, and the tire size if you know it.
We tell you what fits
And the price, mounted, before anything goes on.
What we do with wheels
We sell wheels in all styles and sizes, and we mount them. Buy wheels and tires together and we put the tires on the wheels, balance them and bolt them on while you wait. Bring your own wheels and we mount new or used tires on them.
Before you buy, we check that the wheel fits your car. A wheel can look right in a photo and still be wrong for the car, and the reasons are below.
What has to match for a wheel to fit
Bolt pattern
The bolt pattern is the number of lug holes and the diameter of the circle they sit on, written like 5x114.3: five lugs on a circle 114.3 millimeters across. It has to match your car's hub exactly. Close is not good enough.
Center bore and hub-centric rings
The center bore is the big hole in the middle of the wheel that centers it on the hub. A wheel with a larger bore can still fit with a hub-centric ring that fills the gap. A bore that does not match and has no ring can leave the wheel slightly off center, which you feel as a vibration.
Offset
Offset is how far the wheel's mounting face sits from its centerline, in millimeters. It decides whether the wheel sits further in toward the suspension or further out toward the fender. Staying close to the factory offset is the safe choice for a daily driver. We look at what is safe for your car before you buy.
Diameter, width and the tire size
The wheel's diameter and width set which tire sizes fit on it. A wider or taller wheel needs a tire made for that width and diameter, and that tire still has to clear the suspension and the fender.
Load rating and lug seat
A wheel has a load rating, and it has to carry at least what your vehicle weighs at the corner. Trucks and vans need this checked more than cars. The lug nuts also have to match the seat shape cut into the wheel, so new wheels sometimes need new lug nuts.
Tire pressure sensors
Most cars have a sensor in each wheel that reports tire pressure. The new wheel has to take a sensor, and the sensors have to be moved over or replaced. More on that below.
Changing wheel size changes the tire
Going to a bigger wheel usually means a tire with a shorter sidewall, so that the whole tire stays about the same height as before. Keeping the overall diameter close to stock keeps the speedometer reading right and keeps the tire clear of the body when you turn and go over bumps.
So when you change wheel size, plan on new tires too. We work out the tire size that fits the new wheel and stays close to the original height. The size guide explains how the numbers on the sidewall add up.
Tire pressure sensors and new wheels
The tire pressure monitoring system, or TPMS, warns you on the dash when a tire runs low. On most cars the sensor sits inside the wheel at the valve. When you change wheels, the sensors either move to the new wheels or new sensors go in, and the car may need to relearn them so the warning works.
When a sensor is moved, the small parts that seal it, the grommet, nut and valve core, should be replaced. We handle TPMS sensor service when we mount your wheels, and the cost is part of the price we quote you.
Factory, replacement, steel and custom
| Type | Good for | What to weigh |
|---|---|---|
| Factory | Exact fit and finish for your car | Usually costs the most to replace one |
| Replacement | Factory size and fit, often a lower price | Finish and style may differ slightly |
| Steel | Rough roads, work trucks, spares | Heavier and plain to look at |
| Custom | The look you want, new sizes | Fitment and tire size need checking |
If you bent one factory wheel and the other three are fine, a single matching wheel is often the answer. If you want a new look, custom wheels open up more sizes and styles, and that is where checking fitment matters most.
What to send us
To check fitment before you come in, text us:
- The year, make, model and trim of the car
- The tire size from the sidewall, like 225/60R16
- A photo of the car from the side
- What you are after: a matching replacement, a new look, or a different size
We tell you what we have that fits and the price mounted. If you would rather see the wheels in person, walk in any day.
Questions we get
Do you sell wheels, or only mount tires on wheels I bring?
Both. We sell wheels of all styles and sizes and mount them, and we mount tires on wheels you bring in.
How do I know what wheels fit my car?
Tell us the year, make, model and trim, and the tire size. We check the bolt pattern, center bore, offset and size before you buy.
What are bolt pattern, offset and center bore?
Bolt pattern is the lug count and the circle they sit on. Offset is how far in or out the wheel sits. Center bore is the hole that centers the wheel on the hub. All three have to suit your car.
Do I need new tires if I change wheel size?
Usually, yes. A different diameter or width needs a tire made for it, sized to keep the overall height close to the original.
Do I need new TPMS sensors with new wheels?
Sometimes. Your current sensors can often move to the new wheels with fresh seals. If they cannot, new sensors go in. Either way we tell you before we start.
Can you put new tires on my existing rims?
Yes. We mount and balance new or used tires on your wheels while you wait.
Do you sell wheels and tires together?
Yes. Pick the wheels and the tires, and we mount, balance and put them on the car in one visit, with one price up front.
