ottawa tire/rims purchase

[erikvonb]

I'm trying to get a group together to buy a bunch of sets of winter tires and rims. I figure we can get a better deal if we buy in bulk.
I'm looking at 14" steelies w/ possibly Blizzaks (185/65/14)
Anyone in Ottawa area intersted?...or if anyone has gotten a sweet deal, could you let us know where you made your purchase & how $$$ you paid in (canada)$'s

Thanks

I think that performance Mazda as a running deals for 700$ for Nokian Hakka1 with steelies. This is a good deal for top of the line winter tires. Check out their website http://www.performancemazda.com Check their internet specials

I allready have the blizzak WS-50185/65R14s, and am looking for rims. So far this is what I know...

- The dealership will look you right in the eye and tell you to go f*** yourself if you even suggest getting 14'' for a P5 fom them :eek: They charge 60$ a pop for 4x100 14'' steelies too, so that gives you an idea of what they would charge if your dealership has them... I went to Argus Mazda in Hull BTW

- Walmart has 'em for 39.99 but they tend to be on backorder with a wait of about a month

- Canadian tires has 'em for 41.95 and they can get them to you the next day.

Argus do not know anything. Trust me on this.

Go see performance Mazda in Ottawa, I'm sure they will sell you the rims gladly. :D

-Cloudpump . i'll be looking into it the next few days. Let me know what kind of deals you've found. I'll be asking what kind of deal they can give us if we purchase 3 full sets (you, myself and my brother)

I got them at Sears last year. Cost me about 450 for all 4 including installation.
