Amazon.com Automotive Launches Wheels Store

Amazon.com today announced the launch of its new Wheels Store, which showcases a vast selection of top brands such as American Racing, Dip, Dale Earnhardt Jr., KMC, Mickey Thompson, Sacchi, Konig and Veloche.

Just as they can within the Amazon.com Automotive Store, customers looking for wheels can use the Automotive Part Finder search tool to quickly find the wheels guaranteed to fit their specific year, make and model.

“We are thrilled to launch the new wheels store for automotive customers,” said Steve Frazier, vice president of Amazon.com Automotive. “Our goal is to provide customers with everything they are looking for in automotive aftermarket goods. Wheels are an important addition to that selection, and we’re delighted to deliver great prices and the convenience of Amazon’s unique shopping experience to the wheel marketplace.”

Since its launch in 2006, the Amazon.com Automotive Store has offered customers access to nearly 4 million automotive parts and accessories, including replacement and performance parts, automotive tools and equipment, automotive accessories (interior and exterior), car electronics, motorcycle and ATV parts and accessories, RV parts and accessories, car care and now, wheels.

As the Wheels Store debuts, customers who purchase a set of four wheels using the Amazon.com Store Card will pay no interest on their purchase if paid in full within 12 months.

In addition, customers who purchase a set of four wheels will receive $25 worth of Amazon MP3 downloads.

Ascot Supply Corporation, based in Newnan, Georgia, has selected Mark Paquette for the newly created position of vice president. In this position, Ascot Supply said Paquette will oversee the growth of the company's products, corporate profitability, manage marketing and advertising and assume many other responsibilities.

He will work under the direction of current President David Kessler and officially begin his new role on June 3. Paquette joined the tire and automotive industry in the early 1980s at his father's tire shop, and his contributions to Mohawk Rubber Sales were instrumental in the company's growth and eventual sale to Myers Tire Supply in 2021, according to Ascot Supply. Paquette eventually was given a promotion to the role of director of operations at Myers Tire Supply.
