WHEEL SPOTLIGHT: |
|
Despite what seems to be a pretty good deal, we think you'd be wise to shop around before settling on an Echo. Yes, it's a Toyota, so it'll probably run until your first gray hair sprouts (or you wind up in a pine box, if you already have gray hairs.) Yes, it gets great gas mileage, has a roomy interior and impressive acceleration for an economy car. But, when you cut through the marketing hype and peek behind Toyota's veneer of bulletproof reliability, what you find might not be pretty. Neither is the Echo. Hey, styling is a subjective point, but take a good look at this thing (which is available in two or four doors, by the way). Do you really want people to think you've borrowed a prop from Disneyland's Toontown when you pull up to the curb? But it's cheap, you say. Indeed, the two-door's MSRP with destination charge is less than $11,000. But in reality, when you've got the car optioned in a manner that makes it suitable as a daily driver, the value of the Echo starts to evaporate. Want to know what else you could buy with your hard-earned money? How about a certified used Honda Civic that's bigger inside and won't embarrass you when you meet potential in-laws? If you're determined to buy a new car, try the more capable Hyundai Accent or the larger Hyundai Elantra, both of which are backed by a long warranty. Even a Scion xA would be a better bet than the Echo. Built on the same platform as the Echo and sold by Toyota dealers, the Scion is a better handler and its somewhat higher base price is offset by the fact that it comes fully equipped -- rather than stripped bare like the Echo.
We strive to continually bring you the largest selection of custom wheels and discount tires in the
nation at the lowest prices. Not only do we offer award-winning customer service but we also have a
skilled staff of technicians waiting to serve you with your custom wheel purchase. Our warehouses sell
our rims at savings up to 70% off of list prices and 30% less than our retail outlets. You can rest
assured knowing that all wheel and tire package fitments are verified with our technicians before ever
leaving our warehouse. Unless your car has been modified, all fitments are calculated off of the stock
specifications set forth for your vehicle. We use plus-sizing techniques to match up your new wheels
to stay as close to factory stock heights. In laymen\'s terms, you wheel gets bigger and your tire gets
smaller. If you are hesitant about a wheel and tire package purchase, allow us to mount and balance
the set and deliver it to your door ready to be installed onto your vehicle. We use state-of -the-art
hunter mounting and balancing equipment. When mounting we use chrome valve-stems, stick-on weights,
and road-force balancing equipment. We shrink-wrap and package the aftermarket wheels thoroughly for
shipping. All wheels and tires are insured during transit. If you are ordering wheel spinner adaptors,
they are generally shipped separately from the wheel for safety reasons. While we rely on our repeat
business from satisfied customers, we are always looking for new customers to add to our growing wheel
clientele. Do not settle for one of these fly-by-night companies on the internet that will nott be able
to promise what they deliver or provide service to you after the sale because they are no longer around.
We have been around for years and we plan on being around for many more years to serve our customers.
Just give us a call on our toll-free number!!
