Wheels

So anyone else have trouble finding wheels on Craigslist.

I am finally at a point to find a set of wheels and it appears all local areas have dried up for 5 lugs....sigh

Re: Wheels

There are lots of other avenues besides craigslist.

Re: Wheels

Our bolt patterns are not too popular I would search for brand new instead
I never had any luck on Craig's for wheels

Re: Wheels

Yeah, I am looking for cheap and nearby so, Craigslist is the easiest, but I may have to think about new...

Re: Wheels

the thing with craigslist is you either have to be willing to refinish/pain the wheels, or you get REALLY lucky and find the wheels you need (jump on them because they'll be gone in no time). people can be very vague as to what they have.

Re: Wheels

Summit Racing sells their house brand of new wheels and are pretty inexpensive. Some look pretty damn neat too.
