Need new steel wheels

Post by Kelpie »

Hey there,

We have 2 bent rims on our '03 Vibe. Thought we would get a new set of wheels for it, but really just want some stock wheels.

Any suggestions on where to get them? All I can find are fancy aluminum wheels.

Thanks,

Where are you located? I have a full set of steel wheels & hubcaps, but shipping would probably run $20 each. You can probably find some close to home on http://www.car-part.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Just look in your state or province, type in your zip code, and look for the 16" x 6-1/2" steel wheels if they are the ones with hubcaps. You can probably find some for $30-50 each. Vibe and Matrix wheels will come up. If you want the alloy wheels, then they are a bit more if you can find them.

There are also a few cars being parted out on here. Badvibe has a thread on parts and may have some steel wheels.

Good luck!

Also, if you haven't already, check your local Craig's List. I ended up scoring 3 take off steel wheels (less than 1000 miles on them) from a semi-local guy for $75.00 three years ago through Craig's List.

Last time I needed a factory steel wheel I contacted a local wrecking yard and it was $30.
