anyone know where i can get some affordable rims/wheels?
for a 2001 tib. i was thinking of getting white rims, preferably a 5 or 6 spoke pattern, but i didn't wanna pay more than 100 for each one. any help would be appreciated.

Well, not counting tires I got my wheels for 90 a piece at www.discounttiredirect.com The tires were 95 a piece on top of that. Their staff was pretty cool and knowledgable.
I caught them during a sale, though. Don't know what's there now.
www.tirerack.com is pretty good too, but that's only from other people. I have no direct experience with them.

www.tirerack.com is rather spendy...Cheep wheels can be had at www.rim1.com, www.tires.com, www.whalentire.com
I just didn't see any 17" in white for $100 a wheel or under.
There is also...

Ah, I missed the white rim in the first post. Yeah, those will be expensive. I wanted white rims originally but could not find 16's for under $150 per wheel. I'm sure 17's will be even more.
Good luck, though, and let us know what you find.

You should be able to keep your tires if you stick with 15" wheels, if there is enough tread on them.
Most people upsize their wheels to 16", 17" or 18" wheels. Then you must get new tires to match the new wheels.
www.rim1.com has Konig Rated-R's in white for $135 a wheel in 17" white. 15" or 16" should be cheaper.

i took a tape measure just to make sure and i got 16". maybe i was measuring wrong but i measured from the inside of the rim around the wheel and that's what i got. i bought my tib in canada so maybe we get different size wheels since i got the special edition as well. any help?
