I hate winter!!!!

With winter fast aproaching, yeah I know I said that awful "W" word, does anyone have a good source for cheap rims and good quality winter tires???? This year I want to get 4 extra rims with winter tires to avoid paying someone else to change my tires in the fall and again in the spring.

That is why I bought a bus ticket to FL. Not much of a winter but August was pure hell. Don't they usually have cheap/ugly rims at the tire shops?

I should just move to where it never snows. I'm in the Toronto area and it seems that none of the tire shops I went to are interested in selling inexpensive rims. The cheapest I found so far for rims was $65 each. I'm going to look at the local wrecking yards this week end if I can't find anything, I don't want to wait until the last minute and get stuck in the line ups.

I'd recommend Winterforce brand tires for winter use. They are relatively inexpensive, but don't let the low cost fool you, these tires are great! I've used them on some of my vehicles for a few seasons and have never had a problem. I'm just on the other side of the lake from you,(Ontario)and we can get close to 200" of snow a season. These tires have gotten me through the worst of it. I purchased them from www.tirerack.com and if you go to that site you can also read the customer reviews on these tires.
For rims at cheap price you're just going to have to call around your local salvage yards and check your local classifieds. Sometimes rims are available on eBay, but watch out for the shipping costs. I know there is a place here in NY between Syracuse, and Rochester that sells a lot of used truck parts including rims. If you were on NY for a day trip, it might be worth checking out if you cannot locate any in your locale. http://rochester.citysearch.com/profile/map/7771304/ontario_ny/ontario_truck_parts.html
