RENT A WHEEL
Rent A Wheel provides custom wheels, tires, accessories, and related products through retail stores. We serve everyday customers who need wheels and tires but prefer flexible payment options instead of paying all at once with cash or credit. Our stores offer weekly, semi-monthly, and monthly lease terms, along with retail sales, 90 days same as cash, and a rent-to-own option. Customers can return the products at any time or continue making payments until they own them. We operate as a storefront retail business, and we also provide or arrange repair service until the products are returned or fully paid for.
