Website Speed and Traffic

To all our valued customers, we must apologize for the slow speed of our new website.

We seem to be a victim of our own success. The website speed is slow and even crashing because since we launch our new rimsdealer.com 4.0 site on December 17th, traffic has increased by over 60%! We are on pace to have over 300,000 unique visitors to our site this month.

We are currently upgrading and adding servers to our server cluster to better handle the traffic response. Our new server cluster should be operational within the next 48 hours.

We appreciate your patience, and hope you log-in to see the hundreds of new specials we will be uploading to the website on midnight, January 17th!
