Hey guys, i just got a nice graduation check :thumb: and i'm lookin to buy Rims, Tires and lowering springs for my alero... I think i'm gonna be going w/ the springtech ones... but i'm curious as to what style rim i want, I'm going w/ a silver and black scheme for my car, so i was thinking maybe like a gunmetal or hyperblack rim? (the chrome w/ the black accents) If any of you guys could post your rims, or rims you think that would fit for my car, or just a good site to buy some nice rims at a reasonable price, that would be great :thumb: thanks!

500 will get you a decent set of tires, with no rims

only suggestion, check ebay for a set of 17's at that price range. make sure you factor in shipping.

there is NO WAY you can get rims tires AND springs for under 500. Your best bet would be to go on ebay and look for some USED rims and tire packages you might like. Otherwise, if your alero already has some aluminum wheels, your best bet might just to be to drop it and wait till you save more money.

Try THESE (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7981372067&category=43957&sspagename=WDVW). They don't look too bad and you can buy the wheels for $389, $99 for shipping, and then borrow another $300 to buy some tires.

Check that; go HERE (http://motors.listings.ebay.com/Tires_17_W0QQfclZ3QQfromZR11QQfsooZ2QQfsopZ2QQsaca tZ66475QQsocmdZListingItemList) for prices on new 17 inch tires. Most of them are VERY LOW PROFILE but they are under $200.

i like those rims and for under $400 for four is a great deal.

i dont see why you'd waste any money on rims if you arent gonna get big ones... save the cash or spend it on something else... your stockers look just as good as any of the ones in your price range... yuck i hate rims unless they're huge...

i should have specified... only rims for around 500, not tires or anything else factored into the prices... but now that i'm looking, they can get pretty expensive... i think i may just get the springtech springs for 140 and maybe an exhaust or something, idk... its a big investment, and i think i'd wanna wait till i have a decent chunk of change before i go all out on my rims n tires and stuff...
