just keep looking. dont settle on something thats cheap if you dont really like the style! youll never get your money back from rims and tires... so buy a set that you REALLY REALLY LIKE!

no matter how new the rims and tires are you instantly lose at least 500bucks the second they touch your car!

This is where I bought my wheels:

For 15s, try to stay under 14 lbs each. Some 15s like Konig Heliums and Feathers are under 13 lbs.

Y do you want them to be so light. with them being light odes it take away from the strength of the wheel

heavier wheels are harder on bearings, axles, brakes, transmisions. also slower acceleration and worse gas milage.....

lighter wheels easier on bearings, axles, brakes, tranny, quicker accerleration and posibly better milage or same milage....

just depends if you want/like any of the wheels...

i agree with addiction - lighter wheels give you a smoother ride, better braking, quicker acceleration, and longer life to bearings and other unsprung components.

Just be sure to get wheels from a reputable company.
