O.k I hit something on the highway awhile back and I think it bent my to left rims (slight vibration over 45ish mph)

I basically know NOTHING about rims. I 'd like to get a new set all around (since stock rims are CRAZY expensive)

Whats the best way to do this? And what do I do with the old rims (at least the two that are still good) or... am I overlooking a cheap way to replace the left two?

I'd like tp spend 350-400 or less if possible. Help me RX * gurus, what are my options.

(P.S !7" are fine with me!) I have a silver car with tinted windows if that helps guide your style direction.

Cheers

 

you can do one of a few things. two options would be to either sell your two good ones on here and get a couple hundred dollars to combine with the money you were planning on spending and get some inexpensive aftermarkets or buy two used from someone on here for just a couple hundred dollars. i'd say unless you were planning on buying aftermarkets i would just stick with buying some used ones to replace the two and if you want to buy aftermarket down the road do so when it's by choice, you have the money, and know what you want to replace them with.

 

buy another used set. whole used sets normally go for what you are looking to spend

 

get a set of aftermarket rims, and save the other two as full size spares

 

If i were to buy two on here from someone, stock rims for standard trim, what do you think would be a fair price?

 

They usually go for around $100 per rim in the for sale section.

 

Standard trim as in the 16" base AT wheels?

 

Yes sir LionZoo, I have 16s on my baby

 

those might be harder to find. personally i think they should sell for less so you should get a good deal on finding two but i don't know how many are out there to buy. i'd upgrade out of those 16s and get some real wheels.

 

well my finances are a bit strapped, I'm not against it, but I dont know where to go, what to look for etc etc etc....

 

actually, check this guy out:

I was just about to post that. You're a lucky bastard since I barely ever see 16s for sale.

 

I sent him a PM, we will see what happens.

Thank you very much for all the help! If he doesn;t work out though, I'll be back to get some advice on which 17s to buy and where to get them from.

Cheers
