Ok, I have the website for a few places, but does any1 have a list of Canadian rim/tire retailers. I seem to remember going to one site (I think they were located in Ontario) and they had great prices. Any help? Thanks...

1010tires.com is actually the online version of a wheel shop in Vancouver. Here is the actual website of the original store called Volco http://www.buysell.com/advertisers/volco/volco.htm
I have bought several sets of tires from them and they are reliable. That's all I can tell about this shop. Hope it helps = )

try WHEEL MAX (http://www.wheelmax.com/index.html).
they have a good selection and some hard to find wheels.
but their shipping is pricey.... $150-200 US i think... but rim and wheel packages are relatively cheap.

but if you're buying rims, check out some local stores, see if they can get them and then compare quotes b/w stores and online places. sometimes after taxes here... it'll be the same cost as shipping a set of rims.

Buy locally! With the offset-impaired Protege5 why would you want to risk mail ordering some rims to find out they don't fit? At least if you actually go to a shop and buy they can test out the fit first and suggest other options.

excellent point Rowan... speaking from experience... people just want to sell you rims, are car is kinda strange with the offset, especially if you car is lowered. Make sure you try your rims before you purchase!!
