SEATTLE - June 2, 2010: Amazon.com, Inc. today announced the launch of its Wheels Store, a convenient shopping destination for tens of thousands of wheels and related parts and accessories. The store caters to all types of automotive customers, showcasing a vast selection from top brands like American Racing, Dip, Dale Earnhardt Jr., KMC, Mickey Thompson, Sacchi, Konig and Veloche. As in the Amazon.com Automotive Store, customers looking for wheels will discover the Automotive Part Finder, a powerful search tool that helps customers 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."
