Cheap Wheels???

Im just curious what you guys paid for your wheels and tires. Im looking for 17s but everything I like is like $300 per wheel. Im looking to get a good look for a good price.

cheap wheels is an oximoron

everything you want will be expensive

everything you can afford will be ugly

You may just have expensive tastes
try www.performancewheeloutlet.com
Take a look at the Covette Milan wheel. It's my personal favorite and it's pretty darn cheap. If you're looking for 17 X 11 don't.. you won't find that cheap anywhere.. 17 X 9 is wide enough. Also, try looking at polished instead of chrome (if chrome is indeed what you're looking at) polished is cheaper and easier to take care of (no salt corrosion or chips) just polish that bitch untill your arm is sore once a month or so .

I got my 17 inch rims off of tirerack.com for about $170. There Millie Migilia MM11-2. Very good deal. They are 9 inch wide so I put 275's on them. Eagle alloys are nice looking and crome but I could only find 8 inch in these styles. Take a look at mine page in sig(might have to cut and paste) Also go to tirerack.com and you can look at these rims and change the color of the camaro to see if you like it.

I got my set of 17" Eagle Alloys for $600 (shipped, I think) directly from the manufacturer. You can also have Allied Discount Tires get them for you for about the same price (I'm told). Pics at www.jonschultz.com/z28
