    Default Recommended wheel shop in Calgary?

    the time has come for me to get wheels for my 350z, and I am having a really difficult time finding a local shop that has wheels with proper fitment for my car. I am looking for something 18" or 19" with a relatively low offset (somewhere between +20 and +25 offset) with a staggered fitment and preferably a lip. so far i have been to tire surplus beside garage box - the lowest offset they carried was 30. been to treadline tire - same thing. i also went to wheel pros on Edmonton trail but the rep couldn't find anything with those specs that is in my price range. im looking to spend roughly $1500 give or take. i was wondering where you guys go for all your rim and tire needs. thanx

    I doubt they have it in stock, but have you talked to the guys at Urban Expressions? Very knowledgeable, and helpful.

    Yup. Gary or Cort at Urban X. Best place in town. They really know their Shit. Wicked deals too. I paid $2k for my winter tire package on one of my cars. Everybody else wanted $3k to $3700 for the same set up.
    (18" 's are the smallest rims I could fit on it)

    Wheel Pro's on Edmonton trail has been good to me so far, worth checking them out.

    Yea, Id recommend UrbanX as well... Didn't even buy my rims/tires from them, but they still had the best price for mounting ive been able to find... hell, they even beat the discount I got when I used a company discount at an other place....

    Look online at niche wheels, they have a bunch that have perfect fit meant for your car (I shopped for similar specs for a g35). Only downside is urbanx doesn't carry them, and the place I got them from in Calgary was less than spectacular.

    I got Niche wheels for my M35x - winter wheels 18" from UrbanX - they also have some in stock on display.

    I had the same experience with price last winter. Nobody local could get me under 1950 for a set of rims+tires, Gary at Urban X south got me a set for ~$1400ish and I got a $50 perpaid visa through a rebate as well.
