check out http://www.tirerack.com they have an excellent selection of rims and tires...and it's all pretty fairly priced. they also have it so that you can see it on your vehicle before you buy it. i also know http://www.discounttiredirect.com has some pretty good stuff.as far as price. it's all gonna depend on what you are looking for in it

You can look through the garage pics on here and see what others have put on their Shadow and/or Moonstone (both look gray) Vibes... such as the garage link in my signature, since I have a moonstone Vibe.

rez'ed cause i have some questions.i am looking at getting some new rims because; try and lighten the car by getting rid of the steelies(more mpg), dented some of the steelies(oops, shouldn't try and drift at 20mpg in 1ft of snow), and i want a new look. i was looking at these ones described as " SSC Performance Style 40 Wheel 16 x 7." there are also some that are 17*7 or 17*7.5. what does the 2nd number mean? i'm assuming the 1st is the radius of the tire. can i use these ones? i think they'd look good on a frosty monotone. can i possibly get a photocop, my skills suck with PS. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_1...heelsthanks for your time.

The second number is the wheels width... Those would look good, but in terms of weight, they will most likely be HEAVIER than the steel wheels..
