Default America's Tire Thread?

Does it exist? If you could point me in the right direction. Or do most people here avoid America's Tire? They have some pretty decently priced wheels-just wondering if anyone has bought their wheels there.

I used to work for Discount Tire, which is the same as America's Tire. Pretty good company, mileage may vary depending on the salesperson and store, but overall, good prices on many things. They have their own brands of wheels, generally made under contract by other larger wheel builders. They also have tires built just for them by some of the larger name brands such as Goodyear and Michelin.

What information are you looking for exactly?

Well, I was just wondering which line of their wheels are decent quality? I was looking at some of the "Drag" line and they look a lot like some of the more spendy wheels out there. My current wheels are really just there until I can get some better looking ones.

The "Drag" wheels are pretty nice in terms of a relatively generic cast wheel... no special forging or anything, they are relatively light and good quality, but nothing super special... the prices reflect it though...

They are just fine, nothing wrong with them at all and they look pretty nice, especially for the money...
