Hey guys I need to get rims for my car and I just dont know where to go.
For starters I want something cheaps like 350 or less for the 4. Also I want them stock size 15".
I just bought tires a month ago p195 55 r15. And all the rims I am finding are P195 50 r15. I really dont wanna buy new tires again so can somone help me find some. This is what I am gonna go with so far if I cant find them with the stock tire size.

Don't waste your money on buying 15" rims...it's pointless, you get no performance or looks benefits..unless of course they're really light weight or something..

Get 16 or 17 inch wheels.

Save the stock 15s and tires for a winter set.

Honestly my car is pretty low to the ground right now and I do not have alot of room left there.
I understand for most people you would normally want bigger rims. I do not. So if you can help me find what I am looking for then thanks.

I don't think you have any idea how tire/wheel sizing works do you? The "50" is the sidewall. Your stock side wall is "5mm" taller. Wheels are only measured in height and width. So the ones your looking at are 15x7. Meaning you can put 195/55 tires or 225/40 tires...or anything between there or very close. You won't be able to put 255/50 on there for example.

Google, and learn tire/wheel sizing.

I will google it thanks. I was just thinking it wouldn't work because the only size tire they recommended was 195 50 15. If my stock tires will fit on these I am going to order them.

I would use them tires for winter, and take your money find a nice cheap used set somewhere around you or on here, or save up some and just buy new ones!

15's actually look good, Cybershark had some nice 15's on his and his car looked great.

I've got some 16" Konig Traffiks I'm going to sell, VERY light, with good tires on them, and I've got 3 spare tires.

I'm lookin for about $600.

Just to avoid misinformation being posted in this thread, the bolded statement above is incorrect. The aspect ratio is not measured in millimeters. It is a percentage of section width. To quickly break down the meaning of the tire size P195/55R15:

P - means P-metric size used for most passenger vehicles
195 - the section width in millimeters (mm) measured from sidewall to sidewall
55 - aspect ratio or profile - the number is a percentage of the section width
R - means the tire has a radial construction
15 - is the wheel diameter in inches

Since you have a set of tires you want to use, you need to find a wheel that is 15" has the suitable width for the tire and has the correct bolt pattern and offset for the car.
