Well I'm thinking about new rims by some time during the summer. I would have probably gotten them sooner if it wasn't for the fairly new tires on my mark (not ready to throw out $430 worth of tires).
My rims (1 or 2 of them) seem to be causing vibration issues with my mark. It is either a vibration in the steering wheel or out in the back, depending on where the damaged rim(s) are at. Both types of vibrations are incredibly annoying. I've had my wheels balanced and rebalanced many times and I’ve even watched them put it on the machine get a 0.00 rating for the wheel weights only to find out that once the wheels were back on that i still have a vibration problem.
Now to get to the point.
I have basically two options
1. The cheaper option would be getting 1 or two chrome directionals and putting my current tires on. But I’m rather scarred of purchasing used wheels since they would inherently have the same problems as mine. And the stock rims run for $550 at the dealer or for $330 or so used which is far too much money for a rim like that.
2. I'm not thinking about anything crazy. Most likely 17s or 18s with 255 or 275 tires all around. I'm wondering what combo of wheels/tires would give me a similar speedometer reading (there was a link somewhere but i don't have it handy). Also i wanted to keep the wheel/tire combo under $1000. Or somewhere close to that (1300 tops)
Any thoughts are more than welcome. What do you guys think i should do??
