Default where to get tires and rims??

hello, im lookin to purchase some rims for a dodge stratus 2001. i think i found a deal i want to get, from a local auto solution store. there used rims and there a little banged up but mad cheap. i looked at em today and 2 of the tires are truly worn down and messed up. there falken low profile tires. 17 inch. i need to replace these two. where can i find used tires or new ones for cheap in the tampa area???

now to the rims. the rims are made out of gun metal, but the previous person who owned em didnt respect em and messed em up. there stratched and nicks all around that need to be fixed. does anyone know a place that fixed rims for cheap also.

i need the names and numbers for the places you guys can list. i appreciate it. thanks

www.tirerack.com

bought many sets of tires from there, and a set of wheels....good service, good people, and they actually give back to the community through sponsering a lot of SCCA's big events.

rims for a stratus? that should be cheap. a few concrete blocks and a hydraulic jack, and you're out $20. stratus is a common car, but do it at 3am just to be on the safe side.

I've been to wheelguyz.com in Miami, nice place nice people good prices. Their Wanli brand tires are as good as any kumho tire and alot cheaper. I have all my friends go to them and get their tires etc. If you get in on one of their tire or wheel specials they even give free shipping. I haven't found any locals that can offer me their prices. =/

I dunno man. I've called around looking for tires and they are alot more money locally. I can get the new neogen from nitto, 205/40/17 for $65 online including shipping. Where can I get them for that cheap locally?
