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 frown.gif


heeelp!

words of wisdom here...

Look through every outlet of used wheels possible. If you find wheels you "like", but you don't "love" don't buy them. I searched for almost a year until I found my Rays with new tires for 650. Don't rush into buying wheels that aren't exactly what you want. Research. Find the wheel style you like best (5 spoke, 6 spoke etc.) and keep an eye out. Something will pop up one day. smile.gif

off topic, but there is a guy over here in seattle selling 2 TE37's in bronze for 400 bucks.
