Looking for help

Post by Kevzaz »

Ok, as a basic 17 year old. I want nice looking tires and wheels. What happened to mine... well... those damn curbs just seem to jump out. But, also as a 17 year old, I don't have the money to back it up. I've been looking around at some wheels. I click on them for more information, but I don't know what I am looking at. That, and I don't know how to match the wheel and the tire up.This is what I look for in new tires.-17 Inches-Silver-Cheap-Good lookingSo if anyone has a good combination for me to look at, I would be pretty happy. =]

If you are looking at new ones,try Tirerack,wheelmax,discount tire.They all have a choice for year,make,model and size.It should be easy to choose then. Are you looking for summer tires or all season tires?

I have a set of wheels that came off my Subaru, that will bolt right up... they are light weight, silver, 17", good looking and have decent tires (not great, but decent) and less than 1000$... Reference pic, of them on the Subie and chopped onto the Vibe (thanks to a wonderful GenViber)
