OK so here’s the deal. Like the topic says this is just a feeler. I’ve set up a wholesale account with a big wheel/tire distributor in the US I’ve never placed an order as of now but I want to give it a try. The prices are great but the shipping and border fees kill it… However, comparing to local prices like Tires23 on an order of 8+ tires there is in most cases a good 15% or more in savings depending on brand, availability, etc. That said, it’s hard to give a solid number after factoring in everything before placing an actual order so there is only one way to try this and that would be to start looking up some prices. I don’t have much to compare so even in an effort to help and not with the intention of buying anything post up some make/model/sizes and I’ll try to do some pricing broken down as accurately as possible to get them here. Most major manufacturers are available such as Kumho, Falken, Yokohama, Goodyear, Hankook, etc… and most models and sizes are also available but no promises! Just hit me and see what happens - ideally if you ask for a price it will be on something that you know the price if you were to buy local so we can compare this to see if its worth bringing some tires up or not. //edit// Here is a list of tire brands available: BFGoodrich Bridgestone Continental Cooper Tires Dominator Dunlop Falken Fisk General Good Year Hankook Kumho Michelin Mohave Nankang Nitto Pirelli Riken Roadhugger Uniroyal Warrior Yokohama ---

Oh, can also get wheels from them, not many major brands however 5zigen is there and i’ve already priced out some of those at around 20% cheaper to get to my door than if i were to go to tires23. //edit// just found my email with more details on this. just as an example I was quoted $1300 on the dot, tax included from Tires23 for some 5zigens… Same wheels, tax/shipping/border fees included to my door from the US supplier I guesstimate to be around $1050-$1075 which is about 20%. ---
