400 dollars from my dad, for wheels. i have stock 15's steelies with covers. he wants me to buy the same size wheels, but i hate cars that put 15 inch rims on.. what should i do? i would like to get 17's but i don't know if i can get those with 400. i can put probably 200 with that for now.. any advice?

 

Gravana is having a wheel blow-out sale, check the supprting vendors section.

 

A good looking set of 16's would be alright too.

 

man, with $400 bucks, its going to be pretty tough to find a nice set of wheels and tires for that amount. Especially if your picky. If this is an option why don't you just slap an intake or something in there until you have enough money for the wheels and tires you want? im gettin wheels and tires and im lookin at right around $1100 for 17' rims and KUMHO ECSTA SPT tires.

just my .02 cents.

get 16's at least... if he says you have to get 15's, give him the 400 back or tell him you'll save it tell you get some more money saved

 

yep, you will also get crap in terms of wheel quality for $400...and then what are you gonna do about tires?

 

Yeah... I have to agree on that....

I ordered a set of the Khumo ESCTA SPT's for the SS, and they totalled almost $600 after taxes, mt & bal, and tire disposal... Yes, I know that's more since they're 18's but the 17's weren't all that much cheaper had I decided to buy new wheels and such.

You might find some 15" ers @ pep-boys or something, but you're still going to pay almost 400 just for wheels, adn then have to put tires on them.

If you go to alot of these wheel companies on the net, they have wheel/tire packages, and even 15" sets are looking at the $500 and up range. I don't know I even saw one that cheap.

 

i talked him into dropping 1100 on them, new 17's and tires too.. got them next day shipping for free, i ordered them from a tire place here where i live, he balanced them put them on and gave me the new lug nuts for free.. if it wasn't so damn stormy outside i'd get pictures.

 

Nice! I wish I could talk my dad into dropping $1100 into my car. Hopefully this will be a trend with your dad.

 

I would say at least 16's, but save up and get the set you'll be most happy with.
