Default Place for Wheels/Tires in Portland

I am looking for a set of staggered AXIS HIRO wheels 19x8.5 & 19x9.5 in Hyper Silver but the prices I have been quoted are all over the place. Could anyone point me in the direction of a good retailer either on-line or in the Portland area?

Also thinking about the following tire setup, 275/35/19 and 245/35/19 - Do you guys think that will be a good setup on an otherwise stock RL with .6 drop on RS*R springs.

Thanks for any help/advise you can give.

Jwales...I know a guy at a Discount Tire in OR. He can get you a great deal on a set of new rims/tires. It'll be local for you, so no shipping/tax, and free mount/balance. You can even add roadhazards for those expensive tires!

Who, How & Where? That would be great. I was not relishing the thought of having to ship the rims and then have to hunt around for rubber and ballancing locally.

An account? Like financing? Do they do credit checks? Or is it a layaway type program?

My credit can't take any more inquiries right now (new car, new condo), but I'm dying to get some rims .

i always go to the same les schwab in lake grove. they know me by name in there, lol. i am not sure if they run your credit. i started an account like 10+ years ago, so when i go in and tell them to put something on my account, they just say "ok, done".
i'm sure they need some info about ya, but don't think there is a credit check.
