Default Looking to get rims and tires under $550 Any ideas?

As the title says any ideas on any sites I could look at for a tire & wheel package? Tried tirerack.com but most of the rims won't fit my car from the looks of it. (4 X 100 bolt pattern) I'm also gonna post in the Buying fourms see if anyone has anything for sale. Thanks in advance for any help.

hit up craigslist, you can find some pretty decent wheels for your price range. are you looking for $550 with rims and tires? might be a little hard to get brand new ones, so i would say check up on craigslist

what size you lookin for? 17s are cheap 16s cheaper and 15s cheapest. due to the rubber needed to make the tires for 17s

Umm... 17" tires take less rubber to make than 15" tires... less sidewall, less rubber. Though, the extra metal needed to make 17" rims makes the 17" rims cost more.

I spent $600 for my setup, check my sig. $20 for mount/balance at chico's tires. Rims off ebay, tires from discounttiredirect.com

If you buy off ebay, use the live.com cashback deal. Right now it's 8% off any ebay purchase with Buy It Now using paypal. Will probably jump back up to 20-35% off after the holidays. Max you can save per item is $200 and does not apply to shipping costs, so look for items with free shipping(simple math comparisons will help you decide between two or items)

So if you do wait for the cashback % to jump to 30% you're going to get back a chunk of money.

Note* takes 60 days after purchase to receive cashback(they do it so you don't buy, then re-sell/return and take advantage of free money)

if you spend $600 on ebay for tires and rims with free shipping you'll get back $180. I should put this in my sig or something because I feel like I'm always letting people know about it and have to explain.

-type live.com
-type in "wii" in search bar
-looking at the top listings you'll see links that bring up ebay(they'll have a yellow background)

click on the top ebay link and there should ALWAYS be a cashback icon at the top middle area on every ebay page.

just make sure to use buy it now and paypal. Cashback will say if it's eligible or not before you confirm any purchase.
