Buying Tires and Rims Online?

[mackshell]

Where is a good place to purchase new paddles and rims? I would like to purchase online new. Any ideas? I know there is ebay but I would prefer to find a supplier to purchase from....

Also, what size do you guys recommend. I have a stock banshee (so far) that will be used only for silver lake dunes. Rear size? Front size?

RMA has decent prices on tires & rim packages...but you're gonna want to know exactly what you want (offset, rim size, tire size, # of paddles, etc.) before you call. Which ones depend on what you're doing; all-around I like my Skat-Trak Mohawk fronts 21x7x10 on Douglas black labels, although if I got them again I'd get less offset (like stock offset instead of some crazy 1+4 or something I got), and Skat-Trak Xtreme Haulers 8-paddle 20x10x10 on Douglas black labels. Just drag racing I'd be better off with small smoothbuffs up front and bigger diameter/more paddle/smaller wheel diameter out back, but I'd need more ponies to pull 'em. Everybody's got opinions tho, tell 'em what you want to do with it and others can make some better recommendations...

Bear with me here..... I am a newbie. What is the offset? Is that the centerline or where the rim bolts on? So you can offset the rim so you have a wider rear stance? How is the offset measured?

[BenBB]

Yes offset is where the wheel center is relative to the bead, inside to outside; here's what Douglas Wheels says about offset:

 

"What are the pros and cons of running a wider offset?

Wider Offset is a common expression for a wheel with the same overall width, but a center location that makes the Vehicle wider (or narrower). In our part numbering system, a typical description will look something like

I just bought a set of rims and tires from Motosport.com and any order over $100 is free shipping. I had my tires and rims in 2 days.
