Default wheeloptions.com

I'm looking to replace my damaged discontinued wheels, and I was able to order one from Darkside Motoring (a good store).

Now, the only place that I can find another wheel is at wheeloptions (AKA Discount Tire Center in El Monte, CA). I called them up, and got this close to ordering, but I backed out, because I had a very bad feeling about these guys. I've heard some horror stories about people who've been to their shop, but people who've done mail order with them haven't had problems.

I've called almost every dealer on 5zigen's list, and no one has this discontinued wheel laying around, so should I go ahead and order from wheeloptions? Anyone here ever bought from them?

If they are affiliated with Discount tire, then I think they can be trusted...

btw, what wheels do you have?

They're not! Their shop name is Discount Tire center, and there isn't a Discount Tire in Cali! It's called America's tire or something...

This shop is legit. Vic is one of the coolest guys ever. His shop is called Discount Tire Centers. The national branch is Discount Tire Co. They have nothing to do with each other. But I can vouch for the shop and it's legit. He knows wheels like no other.

Well, I haven't ordered from them through mail order, but I have been to the shop and ordered my Toyo FZ4's (for my 18's at the time) Azenis and my Parada Spec-II's.

There were some members here that have dealt with them through importhookup.com. They've been extremely happy with their purchase.
