Default Good Canadian supplier for OZ and/or BBS wheels?

Hi Everyone;

Do any of you have a favorite wheel/tire supplier located in Canada that deals with OZ and/or BBS wheels? Looking for a supplier with good service and fair prices; an online source would be nice, but its not necessary.

Thanks;
Eric

Eric,

Touchette is the distributor for OZ and more importantly, the authorized repair center for Canada - meaning he stocks spares. Need a new rim section - no problem. I used to buy BBS but my experience with repairs turned me off. The multi piece wheels have to be fixed by BBS and involves shippoing the wheels to the USA. Damn shipping and insurance cost almost as much as the repair. Ugh.

Best,

Bob;

Good point, I completely forgot that Nicolas T. is an OZ guy. I assume your happy with your units...?

Cheers;

BBS repairs can now be done in Toronto by the Canadian distributor and one of their dealers, Wheel and Tire Zone in Mississauga.

I still believe that BBS is the best.
