swapped on some sweet rims today

Post by Canker »

I know they are awesome. Came off my old 89 dodge caravan I finally sold today. The vibe came with mud/snow tires mounted on it stock 16" rims and I didn't care for all the noise they made. The van had 15" wheels with brand new pirelli p5 tires that fit the vibe and are the same overall diameter so I held on to them when I sold the van, tires were worth as much as the van. Maybe the only vibe rocking old dodge crab wheels :).

Awesome. I'd be lying if I said that didn't look good. Some paint could do you good. Do the center up in chrome with a red lip. Then paint on a white wall. :lol:

It does ride better. Wasn't really expecting much but it is noticeable. I'm really hoping these will give me a bit better gas mileage too. They are lighter and I have regular street tread now instead of 4x4 tread. I thought they looked odd at first but the more I look at it the more I like them. These rims are actually in a lot better shape than the vibe's factory rims and just need cleaned up.
