A little wheel help here.

Last year before storing my L, I curbed both passenger side rims and took nice chunk of rubber out of the sidewall. So I would like to get new rims and tires. These are going for 299.00.



That price is great but I would be willing to go with 20 inch non-chrome reps if the price was cheaper. I also have no clue on what tires to get with 20's. I currently dont have any drop. So 2 questions:

1. Can I get non chromed reps for cheaper then 299 apeice

and

2. What tires to go along with the rim purchase. Again cost is an issue.

Thanks for all your help.

1. if you're talking about stock replicas, then yes you can

2. depends on the diameter and the width of the rim

ex. stock wheel = 18" x 9.5" wide = 295/45 tire
I think you can squeeze a 305 on there also.


Most 20 inch rims are 8.5-9 inches wide...there are exceptions of course. That width number, and the brand of tire will have a decent impact on price..... but if you go really cheap...well lets just say you get what you pay for on the durability side

Those are Mister Skeltons rims. from what everyone has told me for 20's the best tire size to get is I believe is 295-40-20. As far as getting the reps I have no idea on price on them.

I meant 20's. Can 20's be had anywhere for under 299?

Thanks guys.

Peace

If you're looking for 20" non-chrome (silver) replica wheels, they do not make any at this time. I tried to find someone who was making these wheels, no one is. They only make the chrome replicas in 20".
