Default Rims Help

I have a white GT and am searching for 18" rims, black with a chrome lip, reasonably priced. Any suggestions?

A little more information, preaze

What is reasonably priced?
Do you plan on using your current tires? If so, what size tires do you have?
If you want to run NEW tires, what are your needs in grip and will you be driving these in snow/ice?
Are you looking to go with a wider set or staggered?
What is your sign and what is a gurl like you doing in a place like this?

Reasonably priced is under 1500. My tires are 18", but am planning on buying new ones, which will not be driven during the winter. I am an Aquarius, and I love cars!

You can find a decent set of tires/wheels for that price, so I recommend you take a look at tire/wheel packages at Tire Rack and some other site sponsors. If your looking for serious grip, in either off-the-line or lateral, you won't find any tires to go with wheels in this budget.

What kind of driving do you do?

What kind of driving do you like

1. Daily driver around town and stuff?
2. Will you be driving these tires in the snow?
3. Do you like to head out to the back-roads and take corners?
4. Do you ever go to the 1/4 mile track?

The tire/wheel packages found at most places, are gonna fall into your price range. The problem would be if you wanted a more specialized tire, for questions #3 & #4. The packages are gonna be designed for reasonable grip year round without seriously inclimate weather, such as question #2.

Jazzer hoping your a Mets fan and not the "other" fan

Haha Jazzer...I am the "other fan".

I am a daily driver, and put on a lot of mileage. Not driving these tires in the snow. No racing for me even tho id love it, and yes I take back roads.
