rim suggestions?
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.
![]() 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 ).The other thing to, has anyone tried using the TPMS valve kit? I found it here. 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... ![]() Any help is greatly appreciated!!
