Where to buy rims

[Aluxo]

Hi,

I’m after some recommendation on websites to buy rims. I don’t have my mind set on a brand / design so would be after choice and a reliable provider. And I don’t want knock-offs either.

Thank you in advance

Make sure you get plenty of toilet duck. All sorts of horrible things lurk under rims.

Rimstock make team dynamics wheels, if you look at the link below it shows their leading stockists. Those leading stockists also stock several other brands so worth browsing some of the sites listed -

If you can go & take a look in the flesh as alloys can make or break a car, go on google to see images of different wheels on your car.

Personally I have fitted Stance/Vertini alloys to all of my cars & have had no issues at all I but have ordered direct from the US, they do have a UK stockist.

If you don’t have your mind set on something, what’s the purpose for getting new wheels? Style…light weight…you hate the originals…something else?

If you don’t want knock offs, then presumably the strength/quality/weight are somewhat important to you, so why not just get a different used set of manufacturer wheels?

I picked up a £150 set of OEM Audi wheels from eBay a month back. They’re more than 3kg lighter than the wheels I have fitted, exactly the same fitment and in pretty good nick. If you’re open to used, eBay, Gumtree and Facebook Marketplace are a good place to start.

If you want new, this place has good value OEM wheels and some OZ and other respected brands (mainly for German cars): https://www.alloywheelsdirect.net/. Meanwhile, if you’re interested in the weight of aftermarket wheels, US site Tirerack.com is quite helpful.

Very good for discovering the manufacturers code, so you can cnp that into eBay

I found the service from https://www.wheelbasealloys.com/ to be really good.

Thank you everyone, this is very helpful. A few comments:

General one: car is a GR Yaris with Circuit Pack which has forged BBS as standard. I’m thinking whether to either go down a) the utilitarian route with cheaper wheels for day to day use and/or winter tires, or b) giving it a different style. I wanted to have a good look around before landing.

@ZX10R - you’re right and the plan is to eventually go there in person once the choice has been narrowed down

@RoVoFob: I have some ideas and have thought of other OEM options (the non forged ones of the non circuit pack) but also turbofans, OZ rally, Volk ZE-40 so a variety of looks. This is a car I’m hoping to keep long term so don’t mind spending a bit more for quality.
And thank your detailed answer and pointers.
