Discount Tires / America's Tire has a lot of quality wheels (rims) for fairly cheap. If your just looking keep your tires you can get some pretty nice ones.

For my four (4) wheels and four (4) tires it was like $1050 out the door or something like that.

 

[sclayton325]

dang thats alot...
what size rims were they?

im thinkin about running 16in or 17in..
probably 16in cause its just 1in bigger than the stock i believe.
i want to get new tires and i can get tires (4 of em) for about $120-$150 cause if my employee discount...but i dont get discount on rims.
=(

Yes I installed them myself. I had my dad help me, so that we could align each piece perfectly. Took about 5 minutes to install them. I just cleaned the area with rubbing alochol, had the windows rolled down, and then we taped each piece into place. After that you insert the clips that come with it, and roll each window back up. That's it. Super easy.

wow sounds really easy then!! im excited to get them!
i really neeeeda get pics up here..
=(

oh and thanks for the direction btw!

You could probably get JUST wheels for around 300-500 bucks. Just shop around and make sure you go to a few places. Someone might have something you like better and cheaper.

I was going to get my tires from Les Schwab and the wheels from America's Tire. I went in to buy the wheels and they hooked me up with a WAY better deal than Les Schwab.

Compare prices and see if a company will beat prices or at least price match.

go with 17s, that will cost you as little as about $450. and 215/45-17 tires, or for a bigger "foot print" with the tire you cold go with 225/45-17. total will be in the $1000-$1100 range (not that bad).
also check out craigslist.

cody, les schwabs sucks, but they are the only ones who will give my poor ass financing so they get my business.

 

[sclayton325]
