shopping for alloys Options

[xkillerx]

hello

i have stock 14" six-spokes with winter tyres and was hoping to purchase a new set for the summer. 15, 16, 17 inches, name your best picks, unfortunately i think i'll have to shop for second hand wheels because i'd rather buy new tyres and used rims than vice versa. what should i look out for and which rims from other cars can i fit? audi a3? subaru impreza? chrysler neon?


what about tyres? european members - looking for cheap but good (heh...). should i go with falken? or pay extra and go with yokohama? i'd gladly buy hankook's but nobody's importing them at the moment


heeelp!

Good idea with the used wheels/new tires. I have upgraded many times from the stock steels [14s] Just remember our cars have a 5x100 lug pattern. Chevy Cavaliers have the same lug pattern..

Im pretty sure that its a whole different ball game with pricing there.. Most expensive set of wheels I have bought are my 16x7 ASA AR1 with a set of 224/45/16 Yokohoma ES100 [very very good tires..] I got the whole thing for $300.. used and all.. another set that I purchased was my tC wheels 17x7.. Lets just say I got new tires on it [Fuzion ZRi] for under 400 .... A set of 16x7 Rota Slips with Neo Gens.. for 200 ...

Just remember.. look around all over the place.. classifieds and such.. IMO for looks the best would be 17s with 215/45s

Good LUCK!
