rim suggestions?

[DevilGirl]

I've been doing a lot of searching lately. But being as I have no experience in choosing different rims than what came on the car when I bought it, I don't know what are the better quality brands. I'm also limited by price too. :frown:

What I'm looking for are 15", preferrably black rims, digging the 5- or 7-spoke style. I don't need them until next spring. I plan on running the snow tires on the stock wheels, and then the remaining seasons on the new wheels.

As far as price, my budget would allow me to have a max price of $380 shipped, but I'd rather keep it to around $250 (yeah I know, really limiting:frown:).

The other thing to, has anyone tried using the TPMS valve kit? I found it here (http://www.autopartsfair.com/toyota-exterior_parts/yaris-2009-tools_garage-tpms409s.html). Thoughts on it? I've heard of people bypassing the whole sensor factor. But my boyfriend would prefer me to still have it on new wheels since I drive mostly highway. This seems to be a cheaper alternative than say having Tirerack.com installing the sensors on rims if I buy from them, at $352 for the 4... I'm sure I could find a local tire shop to install them for me when I have them put the rubber on the new wheels... :iono:

Any help is greatly appreciated!! :bow:

250 shipped, good luck. a quality wheel should cost you around $100 each.

if you want to go that cheap, you'll have to buy used. craigslist is your best bet

cheapest rims/tire combos ive seen are on www.wheelfire.com...about $579 for 15's

if you're going to reuse your stock all seasons and just want wheels, http://www.jlbmotorsports.com/

Rota slipstreams brand new are in the low low 400s shipped, if you know where to look. I'm sure you can find used ones in your price range :smile:

I'll look for the website of new ones for you.

Thanks for the input thus far. I realize price is my issue right now. Brands to look for that are quality? If I choose to buy used, since that seems to be the only way I'll get something, it would be helpful to know specific brands that will hold up.

i got my set of rims there and tires from tirerack.

if money's an issue, i'd transfer your existing tpms sensors from your stock wheels to your new ones. when i had mine done, they didn't even have to resync it. just dropped them in and they worked fine. no rebuilding or anything. then when winter rolls around, you can get a set of sensors off ebay and have them resynced for your winter wheels.
