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.

I like Gunmetal....

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

And the exchange rate on those Imperial Credits is killer.

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?

Pic of my car( black MX ) with black with polished lip and all black rim.

they are not the best pic but they will give you an idea of what black rim will look like on your car..
personnaly I prefer all black! but the pic are not to great so the polished lip kind of look beter.

KXwheels has great package deals which include rubber for around $1k. I called and shipping to Edmonton would be about $75.

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.

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:

I actually bought another MX-3. Now I have a set of 15" honeycombs as well, and 12 tires in total. With access to another 4 real cheap
