Cool Anyone Use Riax Wheels?

Guess I should have asked before I purchased, but I got an awesome deal on a set of Riax wheels for my HHR. I was wondering about quality issues. They were so inexpensive, you always hear, you get what you pay for..

I know they are made by American Racing, a pretty reputable company. And also, if you do have them, please post a picture!

Thanks,

Check out NAZRAMOTH'S gallery. His ride is on Riax!

SoCal also had HHR1 riding on Riax.

Correct, badboy69 has the Riax Fontana on his HHR.

Really sharp looking rims. Wish I had the $$$ to get some like that.

Black,

I got my Riax Fontana's 18" for $92 dollars a piece at Discount Tire. Guys on ebay are selling them for similar prices. Is $92ea expensive?

I bought my wheels (not Riax) for about $75 each. Great deal, but with shipping, duty, UPS fees and exchange (when it was still 10% or so), it all came up to my door costing $700.

I need a US address across the border....

Wow. I got my full setup at Americas Tire for $775. 18" Fontana's, and 225/40/18 General Tire Exclaim UHP Z speed rated. I guess I was lucky!

You need to remember that badboy69 is in Canada.

Even though our dollar is currently trading very well against the US greenback, we still get royally screwed on pricing on a lot of products.
