WTB Stock 15 inch wheels Options

[Zephyr]

Anybody out there have some factory rims they want to unload?

My car won't accept aftermarket rims. I've tried two sets and they both make the car wobble all over the place and make the steering wheel jerk around. The stock wheels don't do that. Three different tire shops all say my rims aren't centering up on the hub, and we've tried three different sets of hub centric rings to remedy the problem with no luck.

I'd put my stockers back on but they're all scratched up. The person that had the car before me was a chick, and they always mess their tires up scrubbing curbs.

I'd prefer the newer style that I've seen on the 7th generation Celicas, the ones with the really pointy, almost nonexistant five star spokes, but I guess I'd be interested in the 6th gen 5 stars too.

Please, reply here if you want, but PLEASE send me an email too.

My email is DoothaBartman@netscape.net

Peace.

I paid 120 for each, they're American Racing wheels.

I already had a set of 16's I put brand new tires on that didn't work on my 96, but rode perfectly on my 91 GTS. I shelled out 450 for the rubber and now I've got them sitting in my barn along with the rims I can't use and haven't been able to sell here or anywhere else. We tried for about a month to make those suckers work on my car with no luck, doing stuff like balancing them every other day, swapping from front to rear, putting new tires on the rims thinking I had a bunk tire somewhere, truing the rubber to the rim and using hub centric rings. At that point everyone thought the wheels and tires were just too much for the car to handle, since the problem wasn't there with the factory wheels, so to fix the problem and have a nice looking set of wheels I bought some brand new ones in the factory size.

That didn't work either. The tire shop I bought them from has been in business here for 60 years or more, I'm sure they know what they're doing when they order a set of rims for a car. I was present when they were on the phone with the rep from American Racing, so at least I'd think that if the tires shop didn't know exactly what wheel went on my car, the manufacturer would.

The fact of the matter is, the car has been to three different shops, two others besides the one I bought the wheels from, along with the Toyota service center and nothing can be found wrong with anything. No one has charged me any money in all the time they've been attempting to solve the problem, so it's not like they're making something up to keep getting money from me. The only explanation is the wheels don't center up on the hubs, and all four places come up with the same explanation without me telling them that the other places have already told me that.

The place I bought them from has said they will probably get full price returned to me since obviously they sold me something that didn't fit on my car.
