I imagine that being from Hawaii purchasing from a reputable dealer is important. So I agree, Tire Rack is very good for the standard stuff, you can trust Harris (on these boards) at HartonMotorwerks.com for very good price and excellent service on the hard to find stuff.

Harris never returned my inquiry emails... I am going to have to kick him in the jimmy.

But he does seem like an honest guy with a good selection of products.


There is also wheelpower, pure-motorsport, and autoclass.

Other than 4-5 hours of sleep everyday, I am sitting in front of the computer ALL the time. I have just checked my Inbox a couple of times but I have not received any of your enquiries??!!

Please accept my utmost apology for not replying because I didnt get message.

Well...I think I am a honest guy, more than "seems like". :p

Wheel experts.. HANDS DOWN.. Dont bother buying from tirerack.. they dont have the selection nor custom fitments that Pete can track down (Case in point.. my BBS RS-GT's in a fitment for my C230K sedan)... If pete cant get it its either Crap or dont exist.. plus his prices are unbeatable.. never heard a bad thing about Wheel Experts.. check them out

I have sent you a few emails. I know you are busy and did not meant to imply you are irresponsible.

I asked about the AMG rear spoiler, AMG rear Bumper, the Carlsson Front Lip add-on, the ATS DTMs, the OZ Supperleggras, the BBS CH's... and I also sent you a detailed email regarding my opinon of your site and the thing I think as a BA/ Usability consultant would make it better.

I don't know, nor have I dealt with you to a point to say you ARE an honest guy, you do, by my best judgement of character, seem like an honest guy. I do have to disagree with a point you made on csportcoupe.com, check the suspension, wheels and tires forums, re: "245" But I would be happy and willing to conduct business with you.

Unfortunately, since I didn't get a reply from you, I blew my budget else where. Next time. I promise. The same thing happened with Evosport. It is what I get for wanting answers now but it also has to do with a limited budget and compulsive spending.

I'd go the Les Schwab route. I'm sure many on here haven't heard of them, it's only in the west. My family is deeply involved with the corp. Call me biased, but oh well!

nukblazi: not that I dont believe in you. But I really didnt recall receiving such e-mails from you. Especially when you mentioned "a few e-mails". That should ring the bell, but it didnt. Do you still have copies of your e-mails to me? Can you resend them again? I have been told that my e-mail server did reject some e-mails every now and then.

Its alright that we've missed each other with a business opportunity, please keep my e-mail handy, I am sure we will have some other chance in the future.
