Rims in general

[Deoxyribonucleicvitriol]

In considering purchasing some nice rims for my car if I have enough money leftover after buying it...

Just wondering... About how much will a nice pair of chrome rims cost me? ...and where can I get them from?

...nothing super-fancy... just your run-of-the-mill 5-spoke sexy chrome ones.

Maybe I'm getting terminology mixed up.... I always confuse rims, tires, and wheels

Rims are the chrome
Tires are the rubber
Wheels are the metal the tire is on...... right?

Re: Rims in general

size, width, brand.....

best looks for cost, are the Eagle 077 in 18".... they are super high polished alum or chrome..... I had a set of the alum ones on my last camaro, now i have chrome.... I wish i still had the alum rims... chrome is just too flashy.... call greg over at eagle wheels in houston at 281-392-3126 ... he usually will give it to u at cost with 10-15 shipping per wheel... i think i paid like 110 or 120 per eagle 18" 077 a while back , but dont hold him up to that price

my 94 3.4

and my current camaro....

Re: Rims in general

My wheels cost $1100 with tires and free shipping and lugnuts. I will have to get back to you on where I ordered them I forgot at the moment. Rims are just slang for wheels. Tires are the rubber you get to burn :)

Re: Rims in general

My ten-spoke SS wheels cost $300 brand new for all four. And my Daytons ran me another $360. Total cost: $660. Not including mounting and balancing, of course.

Re: Rims in general

wheels and rims are the same thing, which is the non rubber part.

tires are the rubber

Re: Rims in general

I got mine from SLP direct a few years back. If memory serves me right, they were clearing out space for GTO stock.
