In the market for wheels/tires

yzhang12 · 07-03-2010, 10:53 AM

Had the wheels on my car stolen

Wheels stolen :(

so I'm kind of forced into the market for a new set of wheels. But I don't have any experience in replacing the wheels. I'm not sure what my insurance will cover for 19" OEM rays, so I'm looking for any opinions/suggestions on new wheels that are reasonably priced

(I'd like better styling than the OEM 19"s

don't care so much about smaller tires/better control/performance; I'm also not looking to drop it or add spacers or anything to make it look right).

my priorities are:

1) price
2) style (no other modding)

you'll probably get somewhere around 3500 from your insurance

I have a complete set of stock 19" rays for sale. TPMS and tires with 300 miles on them. Located in Seattle but shipping is not bad.

yea If you get his, you'll be able to replace yours, cover your deductible, and then have some extra cash. You'll essentially have the same wheels, and made a few bucks in the process.

I can probably help out, let me know your price range.

so your car is just on bricks outside your house? why are they taking so long to come wtf? my whole ordeal was done in like 36 hours.

Volks are always a good choice, although I think you're looking at more than $3500 with tires.
