Believe it or not, the best place to buy ARE wheels is Sears. I used to work for American Racing, and they got some of the deepest discounts on ARE wheels. I would just make sure that if you are buying custom offsets, that you make sure they are correct as my experience with most Sears Sales reps has not been that good.

I would also have to agree w/ C5 Brian. I've purchased a couple of sets or AREs at sears. When I had trouble with the clearcoat peeling, they replaced them with no hassles.

They can also screw up standard offsets. I ordered mine there and got a terrific deal. I caught the tires and wheels I wanted on sale at the same time. They also gave me an employee discount because they are a customer of mine. Because of the great price I got and the business ties I couldn't really raise a lot of h@!!. Just double check everything before you leave the store.
