i've been checking out your forum for a while and haven't seen anything about them yet, but i just thought i'd give you all the heads up. if you're going to buy wheels or tires online DO NOT use http://www.victoriatire.com

it just completely slipped my mind until recently, but our car club has had TONS of bad experiences with these clowns. so i just figured i'd let you all know before someone on here falls victim to them.

just some of the reasons VT sucks:

stick to dealing with places like http://www.tirerack.com i have nothing but great things to say about TR!

Nate, I'll second that. Nothing beats TR quality, service, speed, and help.

Links don't work for Victoriatire complaints - what kind of problems? They seem to be just about the only ones who carry the XXR 508's I want...

Given that his last post was 5 years ago, I don't think you'll be getting an answer from the OP.

You can search for anything and get the old threads.

I checked out the site listed and didn't see anything on that tire vendor going back to 2001 but this current thread is brand new so just monitor it if you want their perspective-
http://forums.focaljet.com/tire-rack...ing-sites.html

They listed the same vendors we know about.

I totally agree. Tirerack is great. I found a curb and they got a replacement wheel within 2 days.
