Buying rims for the first time

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone can recommend any good places online to purchase rims. I'm looking to buy some black 17" rims for my 2000 Honda Civic. Or If anybody knows of any good stores in the San Francisco Bay Area that I could buy them from. This is my first time buying rims so if anyone has any advice of any kind I would appreciate it.

i'd reccomend tirerack.com or tires.com for online, icbmotorsport.com has some decent used JDM wheeels, or even www.motors.ebay.com (ebay for cars). I'm from southern CA so i can only recomend online shops. hope it helps. If your concerned with weight at all forged rims are lighter and stronger but, much more expensive(my 15" racing hart cp-035 used were 1000, but they weigh only 9 lbs each!) cast are much cheaper but heavier (for 17s my old ones (Motegi mr12s were almost 45 lbs with tires).

Thanks for the links man, found some cool stuff on there. But it seems that both of those sites are selling the rims individually without tires. Do you know of any sites that sell all 4 rims with tires as a package deal?

Re: Buying rims for the first time

www.dragonwheels.com has some really good prices. Granted they're not top of the line forged wheels, but some of them are quite nice. I got a setof 17's from there, wheels and tires, mounted, balanced, and free shipping, cost me $849. They're about the same weight as the stock wheels, but they look good, and I'm on my second year with them and they still look great.
