steel rims?

[cohenj87]

ok so im looking for a set of cheap steel rims for my 03 svt so i can get a set of cheap snow tires. right now i have the eap rims and my car has eibach suspension so its lowered so i need some smaller rims so i can get normal cheap tires. where can i find a set of these and for what price can i expect to pay for a set of these? i dont care what they look like at all.

You may have issues running a small steel wheel. Most 15" rims and smaller won't fit over the front brakes of the SVT. You may have to pickup a set of stock sedan or hatchback 16" wheels and use those.

The wheels will most likely cost the same, if not cheaper, but tires might cost alittle more, depending on size.

I've actually never seen a SVT ran with steel wheels, so I don't think anyone has been able to fit them without clearing the calipers.

well that sucks. i was hopinf to be able to find a real cheap set of rims and tires. im just gonna have to rock my rims and low pros and hope i dont get stuck anywhere or go smashing into curbs and then get a new set of tires this spring.

ZX3 stock 16's are cheap. Sometimes cheaper then steelies. Look around for a set and find some cheap tires...

Or good luck and have fun replacing steering tie rods and getting an alignment in spring.

My 15" steelies don't clear my SVT brakes, just fyi.

thank you. i looked around and havent found any stock zx3 rims for cheap. i havent gone to any junk yards yet but i will if i cant find a pair on the internet for cheap. anyone know of some good places on the net to find what im looking for? i found one set on ff but he doesnt really wanna ship so i doubt hell get back to me.

hell, i just sold a set of 16's for $140... keep your eyes peeled

[cohenj87]

shit i might as well get tires for my 17s it would probably be about the same price.

hey, forgot i saw this http://v4.fivezeroseven.com/showthread.php?t=8305

[cohenj87]

do you think these will fit with my car being lowered almost 2 inches?

[Monkey Gein]

they should, they are the same size as the foci rims. the tires are bad so you can put whatever you want on there to make them fit if needed. but, i don't think that's needed. if you don't take them, i'm gonna in a month or so, so jump onum if you want them. measure your rear, 15s might fit back there, save you a few coins. i can get a 14 on the back of a reg 07, and 14s all around on a 00-04. so measure before you commit.

ok so im looking for a set of cheap steel rims for my 03 svt so i can get a set of cheap snow tires. right now i have the eap rims

If you want to run the EAP's thru the winter, I've got a set of Dunlop Graspics (215/45-17)for FREE. They are just above the wear bars, but probably will work better than any full tread all season for the rest of this winter. Not really free, as it would be around $90 buh to get them off my rims and onto yours.

I can get pics Saturday if you're interested, and will be in Chanhassen on Tuesday.

Geez, my tires are free now?

If I still had winter 17's I'd take them myself.
