New Member...Meet Darth Viber

Post by Russiaville »

I didn't research the Vibe for long but interested when they came out last year. I had a 1998 Honda CRV with 110,000 miles that needed to go. What really got me was the incentives being offered. My $20,000 Vibe came with $5000 in incentives ($2,000 rebate, $2000 GM Family Discount, $1,000 GM Loyalty Rebate). Anytime you can get 1/4 knocked off of a new car (and one as good as this one) it has to be a good thing. Love the car so far. Already put aftermarket wheels on it and can't wait to get several coats of Zaino on it next month. I'll keep you posted if I make other changes (super charger would be nice but I don't know how much it will cost). PS If anyone is interested in my 16" alloy wheels that came with the car, I would probably sell them. I am in Indiana. [IMG][/IMG]

The rims are 16" Mille Miglia Evo-5. I thought about going with 17" but didn't want to purchase new tires. Options are AT, Moon & Tunes, ABS, Power, Cargo Mat & Net, Tint, Stripe.

$200 for all four rims??? Wow, that's a low price. I would go for it if I had the 17" Pontiac rims.

Russiaville, I am seriously considering buying your rims....have you had any offers? My parents are helping me lease my new vibe, and I have the 17 in. rims coming with it, but i live in michigan and need a better tire for winter. How long would you suspect until you sell them? my AOL IM in abronco1, so if you wanna chat about it sometime just let me know! Thanks!-Eric

Good looking car, I also like the wheels.
Shadow Vibe - two tone (almost no need for the monotone in this color IMHO) - slate interior - power package - moon and tunes - abs - 16" aluminum wheels - and the GD on the radio! http://www.cardomain.com/id/db_vibe
