cheap rims?
Saturday, March 26, 2005 2:07 AM
well, i have decided im not going to try polishing these 99 stock ls wheels...too much work and its getting hard to find good rubber in wheel sizes under 16".

however, i am broke because i am saving to move out and to buy a turbo at a later date.
so, cheap rim time! figured i might ask here before i spent days googl'ing

i am not too picky...my only restrictions are it needs to be 16" or 17",at the very least 6" wide(wider would be fine as long as rubbing and or backspacing arent to big of a problem),and the finish needs to be black,polished aluminum, or aluminum(white stands out too much and chrome will flake in a year or so on el cheapo rims). styles arent too big of a concern, i just dont want anything too radical, the goal for this car is to run high 13s on street tires...so for it to be a sleeper...i cant be running dubs

anyway, any help would be greatly appriciated!

For a 13 second car you can't be running dubs either.

Maybe find a set of takeoffs from a 95-99 Z24 or an LS chrome takeoff.

Change is inevitable; growth is optional.

oh, and also, i already have a set of wheels that the slicks can be mounted on if i decide to use them, so i dont have to worry about mounting super sticky tires on 17s or 16s.

i decided this time if i am going to buy anything else, i was going to buy new, the 99' LS rims i have currently were a rip off, paid 400 bucks for em and they were dinged up. i know, let the buyer beware, but i might as well get something i want this time.
