Jegs.com has a sale on Centerline forged rims..."excels" for $200.oo each, which is good for forged wheels . They are silver,have 10 spokes and look great!...I had stock steelies on before and I believe I can feel the difference with these new wheels. the tires are Hankook sport k104's...I decided to go with stock sizes 215/50/17's [IMG][/IMG]

So that's what "Ventu" is...My tire guy was trying to sell me this set of Ventu performance tires ( with uni-directional treads ) for a really cheap price. 17" for C$600 or so.Ventu = Hankook... There seems to be quite a few nicks on your side-molding eh ? My Vibe is pretty much the same as yours.

My Vibe is pretty much the same as yours. yeah..go to hankooks web page , and read up on their performance tires...and they will have you believe that you're getting God's gift of tires, but it does make you feel like you're getting something.I bought these at tires.com, and they were $90.00 each ...theyre the same as America tires store.but instead it is cheaper+no sales tax, and they ship right to your door. ...these k 104's hook pretty well, especially after getting warmed up...jegs had kuhmo 712's for about the same price,225/45/17's which I maybe should have gotten, but I wanted to try something different and I am pretty happy w/ the Ventus tires.......And yeah , I hate those nicks in the door....I walk out to the parking lot one day ..oh well....

This post is for all members and lurkers and is brought to you by the one and only Silverawd26. I am the one and only, the original, no others come close. I always think that it would be funny to put real wagon wheels on my car...the looks you would get

wuhoo! congratualations! yeah they're light! when i got mine , I had to hold them, step on the scale,set them down, step on the scale...then I had my two daughters do the same...yup...13'#'s!LOL .I cant wait to see the pics!...I hope I did not over state the finish, 'cause I think they look sharp!...anyway did you buy any lock nuts to go with them?..I did , one per wheel , and some chrome looking lug nuts as well to match..what are you doing for tires?Quote, originally posted by shibaman »My RPMs are finally here.

I bought locks from jegs also. I hope that they sent me the right ones. I could send them back if they aren't. The rims are beautiful! I have a set of 5- oem Bridgestone RE92 that are mounted on the factory 17" alloys. America's Tire is going to mount and balance them for me. Les Schwabb would not do it for me because I did not buy the wheels from them. Liability! I am going to write them an email or letter telling them that they have lost me as a customer because of this.

well, here is a quick, low quality, chopped example:

I finally got my RPM s installed on my 215-50-17 RE92 Bridgestones. The 17" weigh 37 lbs. Very light! The 16' OEM alloys with the Falken 451 205-55-16 weigh 44.6 lbs. I have to send back the locks to JEG because they don't fit. I ended up buying new lug nuts(all locking) because the stock won't fit those rims. They charged me only $25 for 20 nuts. I think that America's tires is trying harder because there is a Les Schwab down the street from them

hey check this out I was searching for tire prices and I came up on this website that has what appears to be a Vibe on the page. I guess the word about the Vibe being gret is getting around quick. http://www.ststire.com/tires/tires.htm

I think that America's tires is trying harder because there is a Les Schwab down the street from them I guess that makes the tires around 24#'s +13#'s for the rim..I guess i did not realize how heavy the tires are!..the lock nuts i got from Jegs fit , just one per wheel...and then the place I had the tires put on sold me chrome lug nuts for one dollar each.....so anyway, do you like how they look on your car?...and honestly, can you feel any difference with the lighter wheels?....and are you postiing any pics???

I don't know what they were thinking with the locks. The base doesn't match the hole in the rim. The lug nuts I bought are Gorilla brand. Each nut is a lock. The tire guy said that they are pretty safe and that you can't reach them any way because the nuts are deep into the rim. I am going to use these during the dry season (March-Sept) and use the oem 16 with the Falkens for my rain tires. I have read that the Bridgestones are terrible in the rain. Very slippery!

No tsure if im getting these wheels they are nice but im trying to get a Supercharger right now so saving up. Here is the link though there are tons of nice wheels for good price..http://www.victoriatire.com/w_...At=11
