Ryan is soon getting wheels and rubber
Re: Ryan is soon getting wheels and rubber
Only thing I could see is going to wheelsnext.com to get them that cheap. I'm sure you could get a decent looking set of wheels with ok tires for about a grand.

Re: Ryan is soon getting wheels and rubber
I kinda like these and just because they're on my car I'm not biased at all.

Please remember I'm Canadian and lots of these sites don't support me, or charge me rediculous shipping costs.

Re: Ryan is soon getting wheels and rubber
Well, for rubber I'm looking at a few similar sizes:
215/50/16 (preference)
215/45/16
215/55/16
225/50/16
And I picked a few out...
-General Exclaim UHP 225/50/16. Cheaper, semi-no-name. People often compaired them to Michelin Pilots, and liked these way better.
-Uniroyal Tiger Paw Touring in either 215/55/16 or 225/50/16
Anyone know anything else in the 100-150 CAD range?

Re: Ryan is soon getting wheels and rubber
KXwheels has great package deals which include rubber for around $1k. I called and shipping to Edmonton would be about $75.

Re: Ryan is soon getting wheels and rubber
I decided I'd rather spend my money going fast and being a good car than looking fast. Just bought some cheaper tires. I need the money for school anyway.
Sadly, the tires are the weak point in acceleration and cornering.

Re: Ryan is soon getting wheels and rubber
I was going to suggest looking around craigslist and going to autoparts stores to ask around and see if anyone is selling rims for cheap then you could spend the rest of the money on a decent set of tires. ![Shrug :shrug:](./images/smilies/shrug.gif)
